Will Windows XP Pro work with a 64 bit system

I have a legit copy of XP Pro on my current system, I am upgrading to an AMD X2 64 bit chip, will I be able to reinstall my current Windows, or will I have to buy another copy (64 bit).

Sorry if the question is stupid, I was always told the only stupid question was the unasked.

Sak.

 

Welcome to HWF

Windows XP can be installed on 64-bit systems without any problems. You only need the 64-bit version of XP if you use more than 3.5 GB of RAM (and want to use all of it).

 

Thanks for the info, when it isn't something you have ever done it is so nice to be able just to ask

 

Sure, you're welcome

That's a reason why forums exist
