    Why program files are listed as 32-bit (x86) while operating system is 64-bit in Windows 10

    Original Title: 64bit or 32bit?

    Hello. I'm a bit confused as to why my program files are listed as 32-bit (x86) while my system is 64-bit. It's listed as 64-bit under system settings however the x86 would lead me to believe otherwise. Any ideas? I
    am running Windows 10.

    Program files x86

    I have installed a program which is combatible with Win 10 64-bit and 32-bit too. Why is it automatically installed at the Program files x86 folder and not at the normal Program files for the 64-bit Windows?

    my Onedrive is running as 32 bit. That's not a legacy app and it comes with Win10. Why is it not 64 bit?
