Windows 10: How do you run 64-bit programs on 32-bit PC?

I have a 32 bit PC and I'm trying to install many 64-Bit programs, They just say 'This app is not compatible with your device.'. Is there a way to install it without a VM app or checking microsoft store? I'm okay with upgrading, but i don't know which partition should i choose to install plus, it just can't install on any partition. I will try to give the error message when choosing the partition if needed.

Windows 10 64-bit but almost every program is running 32-bit

32-bit programs will run in 32-bit mode whether or not the OS is 32-bit or 64-bit.

Very few programs are 64-bit. And, 64-bit programs will run in 64-bit mode on a 64-bit OS.

How to install a 32 bits software on my PC running Windows 10 64 bits

Welcome to Ten Forums.

64 bit Windows can run 64 bit and 32 bit software. There are no special steps needed, just install it.

What cannot run on a 64 bit system is really old 16 bit software. For that you would need a 32 bit Windows, which can run 32 bit and 16 bit software.

 

32 bit program running on 64 bit computer

Hi,

There should be no problem running a 32 bit program on a 64 bit machine...

You may need to right click on the programs installer or Application\.exe file and set it's compatibility mode... Just select properties and you will see it.

One potential problem... Windows 8 and higher x64 will not run a 16 bit program...

So even though your Adobe Type Twister runs on 32 bit machines, it may be a 16 bit program that is now basically useless on the newer 64 bit OS's...

I know nothing about this program, and have not been able to find much about it, but my guess based on it's age is that it is 16 bit...
