Today's project....


Today, I put 64-bit Windows 8 on a spare partition in the quad-core computer which has 32-bit Windows 7 on it. There was a little re-arranging needed at first to get the boot priority set to the DVD drive, and get the empty partition set at a default, so Win-8 would notice it, and not try to tell me it couldn't do 64-bit on a 32-bit system (Yes, we can!) and then things went along quite smoothly. The 64-bit Windows 8 runs old 32-bit programs just fine, and I'm suitably impressed.
It also runs the 64-bit version of the Vista Shortcut Arrow Remover, and that's why there's no arrows on these shortcuts on the desktop. Works for me!
