RE: USEFUL SOFTWARE | Free, Open Source, Commercial

What would corrupt? What method would be used? I don't see why it would corrupt any files if you're just moving them, because essentially what is done when you move something from one drive to another is that the files are copied and deleted, EG rewritten. If you're just moving the files from one 32-bit PC to a 64-bit PC, the files should be fine.

If what you mean by moving is upgrade your machine from 32-bit to 64-bit in one go, then idk if the files will remain.

The only issue with changing to 64-bit is that some programs might act strange if you just migrate them without optimizing them for 64-bit. So here's what you do:

1. Get a 64-bit machine.
2. Download and install whatever programs you want.

Remember, 64-bit machines can still run 32-bit applications just fine, so if your program doesn't have a 64-bit version, just use 32-bit. Many programs work better as 32-bit anyway, like Java and MS Office.
