A few Christmases ago, my parents graciously bought me an awesome casio workstation keyboard, despite the tight funds at the time. It was a casio wk-110. I played it nonstop for days straight, and it is quite possibly the best thing ive ever received in my life. A few months into playing it, i even noticed something on it, printed in small text, "General MIDI." I did research and whatnot, and learned what that meant, and what my keyboard could do. From that point forward, i began saving up for a laptop. I just recently bought the computer I'm typing with now.
I ordered reason 4 with the funding assistance of my parents. I spent nearly a month learning everythign there is to know about reason 4.
I found out what size usb cable i needed, bought it, and grabbed the disc that held the midi driver for my keyboard. I put it in, then encountered... an issue.
My brand new computer runs on 64-bit windows 7. im not sure what that measn except that my 32-bit midi driver isnt compatible and verily renders my keyboard useless as far as reason 4 and other music software goes.
It's been too long, and ive been trying to find answers. i came across something that said if i use a midi cable, i dont have to worry about a driver. So then, i looked it up, and found a usb-midi converter.
here it is:

sorry this question was so lengthy. But i really need to know,
is this cable what i need? if i buy this, will it solve my problem?
If you can answer this, please do, and if theres a better solution let me know.
Thanks
