downloading new plugins on new pc?

I recently bought a new pc that is windows 8 64 bit. I have an older edition sonar 7 producers  64 bit edition loaded on it. I have plugins I want to install in it but it seems when I install the plugins they do not make it to my sonar folder. is there a way I can set up my pc to install plugins in sonar so I can use them in my sonar? I never had this issue and not being a real great pc type of guy I need alittle direction.
 
 Thanks

    In a 64 bit system the 32 bit plugins go to a folder with (x86) in its name, and that's the way it's meant to be.

    SONAR PE 8.5.3, Asus P5B, 2,4 Ghz Dual Core, 4 Gb RAM, GF 7300, EMU 1820, Bluetube Pre  -  Kontakt4, Ozone, Addictive Drums, PSP Mixpack2, Melda Creative Pack, Melodyne Plugin etc.

    If you are running 64-bit, you will need to add a second path to your plug-in scan (the scan will also get subfolders, so you only need the top folder assigned). For a default installation, you will need these two paths:
     
    C:\Program Files\Cakewalk
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Cakewalk
     
    64-bit programs (and plug-ins) default to "Program Files" and 32-bit versions will be in "Program Files (x86)"

    ASUS ROG Maximus X Hero (Wi-Fi AC), i7-8700k, 16GB RAM, GTX-1070Ti, Win 10 Pro, Saffire PRO 24 DSP, A-300 PRO, plus numerous gadgets and gizmos that make or manipulate sound in some way.
