Windows 10 32-bit RAM Upgrade

32 bit Windows will only see 4GB of ram no matter how much you install. First you must check to see if your computer has 64 bit hardware installed. If it has you need to install a 64 bit version of Windows which will recognize all the ram you have installed.
It's a waste of time and money installing more than 4GB of ram because the 32 OS won't be able to use it.

 

MS Money on Windows 10 64-bit PC

I cannot install Money 2004 on my new Windows 10 64-bit PC. I get an error message that the CD is in 32-bit format. All the sites that provide MS Money plus Sunset do not indicated an option for Windows 10 64-bit PCs.

Please let me know how to download and install MS Money!

Thanks.

 

No. It's a 16-bit app. You could perhaps run it in a 32-bit OS running in a VM on a 64-bit system. See the (strangely familiar) last post in this thread...

Hello
yes i did ask this before, but somehow I thought I got it to work without VM but can’t remember how....

womderd if installing older .net framework versions would help......

so should it be ik on a 32 bit System..

thanks

 

I'm very doubtful that installing older .Net will aid you.

I could be wrong, but I don't think Win x64 has a 16bit subsystem.

 

Just enabled hyper V and installing xp PRO which I have an original licensed copy of.....

seemd a lot of steps to set it up, but if it works then that will be perfect....

plan is to write a program in C to give all the features of money matters, as there is nothing available commercially to match it...

thanks for the help

 

Don't think so. An entire Compatibility Layer has to be provided to run 16/32 bit apps on a 32/64 bit OS.

For a 32-bit Windows that's NTVDM/WOW (Windows on Windows). 64-bit Win10 uses SysWOW64 to allow 32-bit apps to run.

You may have some luck with DOSBox (though I haven't tried it myself).

EDIT: Just spotted your...

That would work too *Smile

 

Just installed XP pro using Hyper V, ollowed Kali procedure, working good, even got the internet working....
cant get a usb recognised but am using Dropbox on a browser on XP and my DB account on my Windows 10 PC to transfer files between the two.....using Opera browser....

very pleased...

 

Well, if the usb is a sticking point, there's always DosBox. A usb, cdrom or any HDD or folder on a drive can be mounted as a drive letter.

Recognise this well known 16-bit app? *Smile
