<span><em>Windows 7</em></span>

 

<span>Hi!</span>

 

<span>I need to upgrade my computers to Windows 7. I have 4. All are running Windows XP. 2 Home Edition, and 2 Professional. 2 are desktops and 2 are laptops. The Home Edition and Pro are on 1 each. I have several questions:</span>

 

<span>1. Where do I look to find out if a computer is 32-bit or 64-bit?</span>

 

<span>2. Do I need Pro to run on a network? All my computers are networked.</span>

 

<span>3. Does Pro really run older XP software in "XP Mode"? Some of my programs are older Adobe graphics programs, Word & Excel 2007, and AutoCAD 2005. Many more.</span>

 

<span>4. What version do I need to UPGRADE from XP or is that even possible?</span>

 

<span>I may have more but let's start with this.</span>

 

<span>Thanks in advance for any help,</span>

<span>Georg</span>
