I wouldn't consider installing any new game or sim on anything other than Win 7 64 bit, XP was/is a good OS, but Win 7 is better in all area's.

If you still need XP for something dual boot as was mentioned, but I stopped even this some time ago.

Also XP's days of MS support and updates are running out while Win 7's has not long begun.

I now have XP 32 bit and Windows 7 64 bit on One HD.

The main thing about doing this is unless you have XP/vista 64 bit you can not put a Windows 64 bit on the HD.

I first put a partition on the HD. Then took out the HD and put it in a 64 bit PC (MY wife's) then installed windows 7 32 bit first you must do that first . Then the Windows 7 64 bit installer and load to the Windows 7 32 bit and unguarded it.

Put my HD back in my PC and booted up. The PC asked if I want to run the older version windows (being XP 32 bit) Or Windows 7.

After windows 7 loaded it was 64 bit.
