Windows 10: All my 64bit apps changed to 32bit apps

Is there a way to change it back without uninstalling all of my apps and games again cause that would take hours and maybe even days of waiting for everything to install again. If it changed all my apps to 32bits randomly is there a way to change it back? Help is appreciated.

Vista 32bit to Vista 64bit

You will have to do a clean install.

I too run 64bit vista, and had zero issue with any 32bit app. 64bit Vista comes with the 32bit libraries, so there is no issues.

I vote that the Window7 only comes in 64bit! We will never get anything 64bit if Microsoft doesn't force it.

 

32bit or 64bit

Windows 10 64bit you can load 32bit and 64bit applications

Windows 10 32bit cannot run 64bit software, therefore you cannot run apps like QuarkXpress that only come in 64bit versions

64bit Windows can address in theory 16.8 million terabytes

32bit Windows can only address 4GB of which 3.12GB may only be usable depending on the version of Windows you are running

In theory 64bit is much faster than 32bit as a 64bit data word (64 1's and 0's) is processed at each cycle of your processor instead of a 32bit data word. I say in theory as there is

A lot of modern software is now optimised to run on a 64bit processor, therefore will run faster, it took a long time for software manufacturers to re-configure their software to take advantage of 64bit

Basically, if you have the option of running either 63bit or 32bit, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by choosing the 64bit version . . .

 

x64 vs 86(32bit vs 64bit)

thats how it works x86 = 32bit its where your 32bit apps go the regular program folder is where your 64bit stuff is installed

damn mailman beat me to it
