Can Win11 64bit recognize hdds written by Win7 32bit?

[MichaelKnight]

I have ordered pc components to build a new pc.Currently I am using Windows 7 32bit on my old computer and it has three hdds.

After building the pc in a few days, I will install Windows 11(64bit of course) Pro on the new pc's new ssd.Now the problem is, what happens if I want to use my old hdds which are full of data in the new pc too?Can Win11 see,read,write the old hdds which were written by Win7 32bit?

Thanks

Yes, Win 11 should be able to read those HDDs. Keep in mind that you'll have to install applications on the new Windows installation for them to work, but accessing data should not be an issue (unless those HDDs are encrypted or corrupted).
