64 bit to 32 bit platform

Moved hard drives from AMD 64 bit to Pentium 32 bit (fried motherboard). I'm dual booted with Windows and want my Ubuntu back just like I left it. Help and thanks!

Wouldn't work, userland is 64-bit too. a reinstall is a must, but you can keep the /home directory from the old install to preserve your user's settings.

I don't a reinstall as long as I can save my home/directory and user settings. What would I lose? Thanks again!

A 64-bit OS won't work on a 32-bit machine, but you can save your data.

I would download a 32 bit OS and then reinstall with it.

+1 you cant run 64 bit os /software on a 32 but machine

+1 on the save your /home directory, if you have any custom configs in /etc I would save them also.

You will lose all installed applications, and any data you don't backup. Nothing you can't reinstall later.
