Unless its a download steam game with no retail DVDs. In which case you can backup all your local content and reinstall from the backups. I think that also applies to downloaded patches for retail. Starting fresh is a good idea anyways when upgrading operating systems. JohnnyQuest and vipersniper 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

A few steam games store savegames or profiles within your user directory on C: And if you don't backup them, it is possible that you'll lose progresses or saves.

The game is coded for DX11, so it looks like another upgrade for you. Not sure but it might run on a 64bit Vista machine, after Win7 is really "Vista 2.0", well sort of. Win7 is what Vista should have been. vipersniper and LordOfChaos 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

When you want to play ghost, just boot the win 7 drive. When you want to play all the others boot with the vista drive. I currently have 3 HDD and one is win 7 pro and the other is win 7 ultimate. Everything works just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
