How do I install IE 32 bit and/or switch from 64 bit to 32 bit?

Windows 10: Internet Explorer

• You need to have Windows 10 64-bit(x64) to use this feature
• To check:
  • Click on Windows Key
  • Click on Settings
  • Click on System
  • On left panel click on About
  • On right panel check system type:
    • System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
      • That means you have Windows 10 64-bit
    • System Type: 32-bit operating system, x86-based processor
      • That means you have Windows 10 32-bit
• Internet Explorer
  • 32-bit(x86):
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
  • 64-bit(x64):

Note:

  Microsoft - "Windows 10 - Download tool now"

  If you have Windows 10 64-bit, you can run any application which supports 64-bit and as well as 32-bit
  

 

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.

 

Microsoft will no longer release 32-bit (x86) Windows 10 to OEMs

I agree, such blanket statements do tend to install a scare tactic. But then there's a lot on the Internet that are similar and too frequent with computing. I think I have only 2 Win10 Notebooks still on 32-bit plus a WinXP Desktop and a WinVista Notebook.
