Yeah, I know it's impossible but some of us have good reason to. So is there a guide on how to do the closest possible equivalent? In my case, I have a 32-bit Windows 7 that I wanna upgrade to 64-bit but move all my files, settings, user profile and everything that makes my current OS what it is.
The biggest problem currently is reinstalling programs which for whatever reason I cannot...

Installing new W7 onto Samsung 970 Evo NVMe M.2: possible method?
I'm building a new W7 PC with a 250GB Samsung 970 Evo NVMe M.2 SSD boot drive.
From what I'm reading online, it seems that this might be a complicated process.
It's occurred to me that an easier method might be to install Windows onto a conventional SATA HDD, add all the necessary updates and drivers, then clone it to the SSD.

Reinstalling: why not simply run setup from CD
Hi everyone. Now I have to reinstall Win 7 on a machine and I wonder: we are commonly recommended after putting in the CD to restart and boot from it. But why? Why the hassle when after insertion autorun prompts me to run setup.exe so why not use it, so much simpler? Doesnt it work the same way after that?
