Can you put 64 bit files onto a 32 bit OS of MS10
I have a situation with changing between 32 and 64 bit OS system and I just need to know a few things.
I have Vista 32 bit OS on my desktop
I have MS10 64 bit OS on my HP laptop.
I got the laptop when I had surgery and it is about 5 years old.
My friend just updated my Desktop with a new hard drive for operating speed and an additional hd.
I purchased MS 10 for the Desktop in 64 bit format. He said he had to use the 32 bit format to clone the HD with the programs so I wouldn't lose any. If he puts 64 bit on he will have to do a clean install. I understand that.
What I would like to know is I have way to many data files in 64 bit that need to be imported to the Desktop. Can I go backward from 64 to 32 bit with files if they were created with a 64 bit operating system?
I believe I can run programs that are 32 bit on a 64 bit system and also run 32 bit programs on a 64 bit OS. So the data is all I am concerned about if I want to stay with the Win 10 32 bit system on the desktop?
I thank you in advance for your time in answering my question.
