new pc what now?
hi folks!
i recently got a new pc: quad core (4x2.4ghz) 4gigs of ram.
my old music pc is much slower but i have a huge software/vsti/samples harddrive and ableton live. it works good but id like to use the new pc.
what would be the best way to migrate from my old to my new pc? (mind the vsts)
is win 7 the best solution for a new os concerning the new hardware?

would be very kind if you could provide me with some tips. thx

Im guessing the last os was XP. I would recommend a external or a thumb drive to move software and files. If it is big enough I would take a image and start a virtual os thats what I use being that some software can only work with 32 bit OS!!

you will have to reinstall Live and all your VST onto your new computers

sounds and Live session files can be moved by using a flash drive,burning them to DVD and copying off that or use a external hard drive

What?!?!? You can use 32bit on Windows 7 systems, if you have trouble run them in compatibility mode. Most will work though.

yes: ols os is xp.
can the 64 bit version of live on a 64bit win 7 system host 32bint vst hosts?

Install it and find out?

too massive to approach by trial and error

it would be such a huge transfer of data that i cant take the risk of the system not working properly. just dont answer if you have no clue
