In this guide, I’ll show you how you can do this.

And the best part?

It’s really easy to do.

Let’s get started…

What Is the Difference Between 32-Bit and 64-Bit Versions of Windows?

The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer’s processor handles information.

The 64-bit version of Windows has the ability to use more memory in your system.

But here’s the most important part:

The 64-bit versions of Windows can run 32-bit software. But the 32-bit version of Windows can’t run 64-bit software.

As a general rule: a 64-bit application might be faster. Yet, in most cases, you will not notice the difference.

The bottom line is this: when you install software on your system

• Always download 32-bit software when you have a 32-bit Windows
• If available, download 64-bit software when you have a 64-bit Windows. Otherwise, use the 32-bit version.
