Windows 10: Installed 64 bit Office 2016 by Mistake - How to Change?

I downloaded and installed the 64 bit version of MS Office 2016 by mistake. It appears to be working, but if I run into problems, what would I need to do to install the 32 bit version instead?

Save does not work - It works the same as Save As

Hi David,

To resolve your issue, we suggest that you
uninstall Office 2016 32 bit and
install Office 2016 64 bit.

Let us know how it goes.

 

Are you on a 64 Bit system? I suppose you are or it would not have installed. I use Office 2010 64 Bit and it works just fine. What problems are you having?

 

I also use Office 2010 64-bit on Win7 and Office 2013 64-bit on Win8.1 Upgraded to Win10, seems just fine. Office 2010 was the first to be available as either 32-bit or 64-bit.

 

No problems yet, but I noticed that MS recommends using 32 Bit due to possible compatibility issues with some apps and add-ons. Actually, my question is now OBE. I had installed Windows 10 just before Office 2016. Found out that Windows 10 is incompatible with software I use for work and therefore rolled back to Windows 7, which also removed Office 2016. I then reinstalled Office 2016 as 32 Bit.

 

Well I am glad that you got it sorted out. Good luck with it.
