A newbie question about Windows 7 and Scanmaker 6000

July 01st, 2011 - 10:42 am ET by Art Todesco | Report spam
I'm new to this group and to Windows 7, also. I plan to upgrade my
OS to Windows 7 by total computer replacement. I was checking my
hardware to see what kind of problems I might encounter. I have a
Microtek ScanMaker 6000 scanner. Looking for Windows 7 drivers I
only find one that says 32 bit. To use this would I have to install
Windows 7 as a 32 bit OS or will it work with the normal 64 bit
Windows 7. I might actually be saying something stupid because, as
I have said, I know little about 7.
Thanks for any help.

32 bit programs work in Win 7 64 bit. In fact, very few 64 bit programs
even exist.
