Macbook Air late 2013 and Bootcamp with Win 32.

I have just replaced my MB Pro from 2009 with a brand new MB Air okt. 2013. I need to migrate my old Win7, 32 bit from the old Pro to MB Air. It this possible by using Win7 image-bacup and restore in MB Air Bootcamp ? Doing a full re-install of Win 7, 32 bit, wil give me a big job in installing all applications in Win. I need to use the 32 bit, because of the drivers in all instrumentation-software I use, and they are not compatible with the 64 bit version of Windows 7.

Can anyone help me off ?

MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Start fresh with your new computer. Boot Camp will have new drivers for your new hardware. Windows 64 bit runs 32 bit programs without problem.

Some of my old applications (data collecting servers) does not run under native Win 7, 64 bit on a standard PC. On one installation with Win 7, 64 bit, I had to run the application under virituell PC evironment. So I am afraid that Win 7, 64 bit is not an option. I need to support customers with old software.

Is it possible to use Win 7, 32 bit backup and restore ?
