Upgrade 32-bit 4.5.2 to 64-bit Cubase 6

Hi,

OK, just thought I would confirm my upgrade procedure to see whether I am going to go about things in the right way. I am currently running Cubase 4.5.2 on 32-bit Windows XP SP3. I am planning on upgrading my PC to an 8GB Windows 7 64-bit PC and want to then upgrade Cubase to v.6. Here’s my plan, firstly I am going to back up all Cubase projects and the vst plugins folder. Then, once the new PC is built I am planning on installing WIndows 7 64bit. I’m thinking I will then need to install the original copy of Cubase Studio 4 as 64-bit and patch to the latest version, i.e. 4.5.2. Once this is installed I can upgrade to Cubase 6 and restore my vst plugins and projects folders. Can anyone confirm whether this sounds like the right way to tackle my dilema?

Regards,

M.

Don’t forget to back up your preference folder. I don’t think you have to upgrade to the latest patch to upgrade to CB6.

OK cool. Fingers crossed!. Thanks for the reply.

And as explained many times here, you don´t even need to install C4 to upgrade to C6…
And if you can simply copy your VST Plugin folder will depend on the Plugins…
