Move Win7 desktop shortcuts to new Win7

I am changing my Win7 32 bit to Win7 64 bit so a new install. I will be using a new HDD to keep the old one as a backup. Is it possible to copy the existing shortcuts and desk top layout? Or is it a re-create job?

I will have the old HDD available after the installation of Win7 64 bit

I get the impression it’s a recreate job. 🙁
