Upgrading PC from Windows 7, 32 bit to Win 11, 64 bit

[Tom@ZoeTheRobot.Net]

My robot currently contains a Win 7, 32 bit PC and two 8/8/8 (PN. 1019) I/O boards. I'm using the Phidgets libraries 2.1, my application code is written in Visual Basic.NET.
I am trying to upgrade the PC to a beefier Windows 11, 64 bit unit.
I tried using Phidgets Libraries 2.2, but the method names are vastly different, and I tried 2.1, but it throws an exception that says it can't find phidget21.dll ( even though I have added a reference to phidget21.net.dll, and it seems to like my IMPORTS PHIDGETS statement)

Will phidget 21 and the 8/8/8 board work with 64 bit Windows 11?
What is my best "upgrade path" in this situation?

I'm using the analog ports to read Sharp distance sensors, and the digital ports to control lights and read switches. I'm also making good use of the 6 extra USB ports.
What parts & libraries do you recommend I need to switch to the Win 11 PC?

Phidget21 does still function in Windows 11 64-bit. However, we are no longer actively supporting it. I would expect that your existing application should just work on the new PC - just make sure you have phidget21.dll (of the correct architecture) and phidget21.net.dll in the same folder as your executable.

Phidget22 does have a different paradigm - channels instead of devices. Have a look at https://www.phidgets.com/docs/Upgrading ... _Phidget22 if you would like to update your code.

I suspect that my Phidget21 library is 32 bit, and my new PC is 64 bit.
I did not see different versions ( x86 or x64 ) in the list of library downloads, can you provide a URL to Phidget21- 64 bit download?
