Transitioning from PM Win32 to PM Win64

[VLMin]

Are the following statements true? If not, what is true, please?

1. One can install both PM Win32 and PM Win64 concurrently, in different install folders. (Do they conflict at all in the Windows 7 registry?)

2. At any given time, one can only run one of these two installations.

3. PM Win64 is, in general, noticeably faster than PM Win32.

4. In function and appearance, the two are identical, except as is not possible by virtue of the different instruction sets, rules, and the like.

Thank you kindly!

1. True
2. True by default
3. YMMV, match your installation to your environment. 64 bit may be slower on limited hardware or poorly supported graphics drivers/chips. True for modern systems with dedicated GPU
4. In user appearance and functionality this is true without exception.

Thank you very much. I'll try it!

I am trying it, and so far, sans Print PDF, the other extensions look good. I have a new question: By default, will the two installations share the same files in AppData > Roaming > Moonchild Productions > Profiles ?

Yes.
