I currently have Windows Vista 32 bit and I would like to upgrade to Windows 7 64 bit. My question is: If I do a clean install how do I keep programs such as Cyberlink DVD suite or other programs that came on my laptop and did not come with a disk? I have the back up disk that came with my system. Can I run that after I upgrade the OS or will that only work with Vista?

Thank you for your help!

loading of registry entries etc. Also, many 32 bit apps will not play on the 64 bit versions of Win 7, and require a 64 bit version to work properly.
