Does new computer require a Sonar Platinum reinstall?

Hi everyone,
I currently  have Sonar Platinum 32 bit on Windows 10/32 bit computer.   I just bought a new 64 bit computer with windows 10.  What is the best way to get the 64 bit Sonar Platinum software on my new machine?  Do I have to do a complete new download and reinstall?
 
I was thinking of adding the hard drive from my old computer  to my new computer, as a second hard drive,  but I think at best that would put the 32 bit version of Sonar Platinum on my new 64 bit Computer. I also don't know if that would cause other problems.
 
 I would like to have the 64 bit version of Sonar Platinum on my new 64 bit machine. Any advice would be most appreciated.
 
Thanks,
Alan

    Yeah, you need to do the full install. For one thing, Windows does not get long well with pulling in old installs from other machines. And in your case, yes, you would end up with the 32 bit version by doing that.

    Full install is by far the best way.
