To convert the whole of my  ERROS product to 64 bit architecture, including its
complete development and operational environments, applications and user data
took just 20 minutes! (that is not a typing error).  I cannot claim it was hard.

I went to get a coffee after I had started the conversion process but this
finished before I had drunk my coffee.
