32 bit and 64 bit - Can I restore from one to the other?

Post by floodstage »

I have 2 laptops,
One is Windows 10 64 bit (and that's where DMXIS resides currently)
The other is on Windows 7 32 bit

If I install 32 bit DMXIS on the Win 7 laptop, can I take the data from the Win 10 64 bit computer and restore it onto the Win7 32 bit laptop?

I assume the answer is no, but you never know if you don't ask.

The smart ass answer is yes, but you'll have to chop the 64-bit data in half.

The correct answer is just yes you can share files. The show and fixture files don't care if your running 32-bit or 64-bit.

I have loaded DMXIX on my 32 bit Win 7 laptop
I then copied the backup from my 64 bit Win 10 laptop
Worked like a charm!!!

AWESOME!

Life is good!
