Migrate v8.52a 32 bits to v9 64 bits

[ElQuia]

Hi everyone, long time no see.

The big question: I use regularly 2 "versions" of TC, on my full installed 32 bit 8.52a, full of plugs and linked apps, other portable for work on third party machines.

I never got to migrate to 64 bits, and it' s been some years since I've come across 32 bit windows

Can any body point me to some procedure to migrate 32 bit to 64?
Should I migrate first 8.52 32 to 8.52 64 and upgrade AFTER to version 9?
Should I uppgrade first to 9 on 32 bits and migrate to 64 bits AFTER?

I really would hate losing all my personalizations....

Thats very easy.
Install the newest combined x86/x64 TC install over your existing installation.
Then install x64 versions of your plugins and you are done.
I suggest using TC 9.0 beta 5 for this if its not a very sensitive production environment.

Will that installation 32/64 install a 64bit TC instead of my actual 32 bit?
Or both?

Both into the same tree.
That will allow you to switch easy as long as you do not have installed all your plugins in x64.

THANKS, Will try (previous backup off course and be back) will have to do some research on 64bit versions of plugins before...-.

Again, thanks
