  2. Riven (32 bit installation) on Windows 10 64 bit

    Hi Mighty,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community and thank you for your interest in Windows 10.

    I will definitely assist you.

    If you install Windows 32 bit app on 64 bit, you will be able to run 32 bits apps without any problem, because 64 bits can emulate 32 bits. Windows 32 bit can emulate only 32 bit. So, I would suggest you to contact game support team for further assistance
    they may have solution for this issue.

    If you need further assistance with Windows, let us know and will be glad to help.

  3. 32 bit or 64 bit

    *Ditto To all of the above. Old legacy software that runs in 16 bit is an issue. Other than that 32 bit software should run just fine on a 64 bit install. On a 64 bit install you will have Program Files and Program Files (x86) folders. 64 bit software and 32 bit software respectively. As mentioned you will need 64 bit drivers though.
