Reinstall Sound Forge Pro 11.0 (Build 299)

Environment: Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, Sound Forge Pro 11.0 (Build 299), all data on a separate physical hard drive (a lot of open space), 16 MB memory. My current PC is working, but poorly. I want to rebuild everything, including Windows 7 from the original installation CD. I will start by clearing the HD using FDISK (if the is still the program) and then reinstall Windows 7 and then the applications, including this one, after testing the OS. I hope to reinstall this program and use the same authorization codes I did the first time I installed it. Is this possible? Will I have problems with excessive installations (second one)? Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am nervous about doing all of this.

I have an extra question. Will SF Pro 11.0 work on Windows 10, 64-bit. I will not be using one of the basic versions, but one of the upgraded versions. I forget the name. I have a lot to learn before upgrading.

You should have no problems installing SF Pro 11 as long as you have the serial number, which as I recall, starts with 17D__. Even with the OS reinstallation, your PCs ID code should be the same, so you could still install SF11 on another PC if needed. You can download the latest build from the Magix Suport Service Center and select 'My Products'.

SF Pro 11 works normally on Win 10 64.

BtW, the 64 bit SF Pro 12 is much snappier and comes with iZotope's RX and Ozone Elements, the NR 2.0 noise reduction suite and a multiband Wave Hammer. Pro 12's GUI is basically the same, so you'll feel right at home.
