Hello Peter
People have been asking that very question for 18 years.
Users complained that some 16bit programs that worked under Windows 3.11 failed to run when they upgraded to Windows95 which was a hybrid 16/32bit OS
When Microsoft released Windows XP, users complained older Windows95 era software failed to work.
Same again when Windows Vista was released. XP users had to run some software in XP compatibility mode.
Generally speaking, programs that worked on Vista also worked on Windows 7. You may get exceptions like device drivers that needed upgrading.
Now the 32bit v 64bit questions are being raised.
Windows 7 users have a choice of installing either 32bit or 64bit or dual boot and have both.
If you have doubts just install 32 bit version. Most users will not even notice a difference. In fact some users don't even know what version they are running.
Times change and you either move with the times or be left behind.
Windows 7 is a fine piece of software, you just need to know how to set it up and operate it.
