Windows 7 comes in a 32 bit version and a 64 bit version. Note: the 64 bit version runs programs in either 64 bit or 32 bit.
I went with Windows 7 Home 64 bit pre installed on my new computer. I have not tried to run the Humminbird Software yet with this computer.
One thing to remember when using Windows 7 64 bit version is that there are two different program directories. One is for 64 bit only programs and the other is for 32 bit programs. Go to your C:\ drive and check out the difference between these two.
Program Files (x86) is for 32 bit program files. Program Files is for the 64 bit programs. When you install a new program on your Windows 7 64 bit OS you must make sure that the program files are installed in the proper directory.
Thanks for the replies.
