switching to win 7 64 : V

» Wed May 30, 2012 1:24 am

I have a quick question, and probably a stupid one. If I switch to win 7 64 can I use my win 7 32 saves, or do I need to start over?

Yes, as long as you back up your My Documents>My Games>Skyrim folder.

Yes you can, I upgrade to Win 7 64 and I am playing with my old save games.

Thats good to hear. I plan on do an upgrade and might as well make the switch.

You can't do an in-place upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit, so the easiest way to migrate all your user data and settings is to use Windows Easy Transfer. I wrote a pretty big write-up on how to do it here: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1337677-dtcs-still-a-veritable-nightmare-in-skyrim/page__view__findpost__p__20144729

Thanks for the info. I have everything backed up on my home server, so that "should" make things easier.
I'm still in research mode on picking my new hardware, so it will be awhile before I get around to it.
