Im unsure whether SE can load 360 saves directly, but if you use Oldrim to resave (hence ensuring the save format of the new file is completely up to date), then I see no reason why it wouldnt work out. With the release of Skyrim Special Edition on PC, a lot of things have changed, first Skyrim Special Edition is now a 64-bit application allowing gamers and modders to utilise more memory.
