    I would like to install my Reader Rabbit games, which are made to go on 32 bit system, on my windows 10, a 64 bit system. Can this be done? As a teacher, I would like to keep using my old Reader Rabbit games in school if possible. I cannot buy an updated version of these. Thank you.

  2. How do I install IE 32 bit and/or switch from 64 bit to 32 bit?

    Windows 10: Internet Explorer

    • You need to have Windows 10 64-bit(x64) to use this feature
    • To check:
      • Click on Windows Key
      • Click on Settings
      • Click on System
      • On left panel click on About
      • On right panel check system type:
        • System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
          • That means you have Windows 10 64-bit
        • System Type: 32-bit operating system, x86-based processor
          • That means you have Windows 10 32-bit
    • Internet Explorer
      • 32-bit(x86):
        • C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
      • 64-bit(x64):
        • C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
    Note:
    • You cannot switch between Windows 10 32-bit to 64-bit. you need to re-install Windows 10 64 bit.
    • To download Windows 10 64-bit:
      Microsoft - "Windows 10 - Download tool now"

    • Install 32 bit Windows 10 on 64 bit system 7b23dd14-23cd-4459-bfc9-5fe838d21118.png

    • If you have Windows 10 64-bit, you can run any application which supports 64-bit and as well as 32-bit

    Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit to 32-Bit?

    Hi,


    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.


    • What is the name of the game?
    If the system architect is 32 bit, then you can’t install 64 bit version of windows in it. I suggest you to run “winver” by pressing Windows + R, and check the version and bit.

    There are some games that you can install it in 32 bit as well.

    Windows 10 is the free upgrade for those users who has genuine key for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , normally it doesn't require activation, it's gets activated automatically, in case if you face an issue with activation the you can get back to
    us.



    For reference you can refer the link below and check if it helps (32 bit and 64 bit architect applies same to windows 10)

    http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/32-bit-and-64-bit-windows#1TC=windows-7



    Keep us posted on this issue so that we can assist you better.

    Thanks and Regards.
