I have a 64 bit processor but a 32 bit version of Windows 10 and none of the downloaded versions of 2.90.1 will install.  Minimum requirements are listed as 'x64 architecture' but I'm not clear if that is x64 processor or x64 OS or both.  Thanks.

Will there be a version of blender 2.81 for 32bit windows as there was for 2.80? In my working environment we are currently unable to upgrade PCs.

I've recently purchased Windows 7 Ultimate.  I have an AMD Athlon64 X2 5000+ with 2GB DDR2 RAM.  I know RAM has gotten much cheaper, I know, I know, but I am not going to be able to upgrade my RAM for about a year.  My question is obviously this; will I get any benefit from installing 64-bit Windows over 32-bit if I'm only using 2GB of RAM?    As I understand, the minimum requirement is 2GB &amp; max is 192GB so if the minimum for 64-bit is 2GB &amp; the minimum for 32-bit is 1GB will I lose performance if I chose to install 64-bit at it's minimum requirement over 32-bit whose minimum is half the amount?  I would like to install the 64-bit edition if only because it's the future.  192GB of RAM! that's incredible! Plus I've heard it simply performs better.  But that is with a larger amount of RAM.  I've tried to make this question as easy to decipher as possible.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Before I start, YES, I have done my own research - I know how annoying a repeat question is. Yet each answer is so specific to others...  When I tried the beta 2.8 64 bit, it says "Blender requires a driver with at least OpenGL 3.3 support. The program will now close."    The question: I know that it is true that 2.8 requires OpenGL 3.3. But does my PC not have it, doesn't support it, or do I have it and blender won't detect it? I'm not sure what info to include or what to look for, so here's my PC's specs:  Windows 10 (64 bit) Core -        Intel Core i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz RAM -         8GB (7.89GB usable) System type - 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor  Thanks!  EDIT: Graphics properties:

I have a Windows Vista computer.  How can I check if all my hardware is supported by Windows 10?  I don't want to purchase it and then find out there are no drivers for the chipset or whatever.

I am trying to install the 16-bit game, "NBA Live 98" on my parents' desktop computer, but I got a message that says, word for word:     The version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher.   Problem is, this computer game is obviously out of date and no longer supported.  Note: The desktop has Home Premium, so XP Mode and Program Compatibility Mode are out of the question. Also, my parents are not willing to downgrade their computer to XP (they discarded the OS CD years ago), and my backup desktop doesn't have a single administrator (everyone's limited). Finally, my laptop charger is broken, so I can't use my Dell Vista.

I am trying to install 64-bit processing to ArcGIS 10.2, but the ESRI .  One similar question on this exchange  that shows an option to include this, but my setup installation program (which I downloaded) does not show this installation window, but instead goes straight to selecting features to install as shown below.  I can't find any other documentation for running 64-bit geoprocessing on ArcGIS version 10.2.  Can anyone show me how to do this? or is it best to just try to install the service pack 1 version of it?

I am running Windows 8.1 x64 with all the latest updates from Microsoft. But still when I click on the GWX icon on the system tray it says "We are still evaluating your PC for the update".  People have already received the Windows 10 upgrade. Can anyone tell me why this is taking so long for me? Any suggestions would be helpful.

How can I find out whether my install of Windows (specifically XP and Vista) is either 32 or 64 bit?  Additionally, how can I find out if my hardware will support a 64-bit operating system?

Can every CPU (in my case a Intel i7 890) install both of them ? Amd64 and i386 ? I would like to install Ubuntu 64bit. So what is the right download ?

I've got a Windows 10 Computer (home edition), which has 4GB of Ram and an i5 processor. I need to run an old 32 bit accounting programme. The vendor said it won't release a 64 bit version (although a 64bit version exists, it's missing key features from the older version).  The programme installs fine, but when I click on the programme icon, it says the programme won't work on a 64 bit system.   What options do I have?    I've done a fair bit of research, but it seems to run up dead ends.   1) WoW64     Apparently, this is supposed to let you run 32 bits on 64 bit Windows. However, I am not sure how to install it. I think it's for web servers only. However,  says it can work on Windows 7, but doesn't explain how to set it up (or if it will work on Windows 10).  2) XP mode     A 32bit Windows XP emulator. However, it seems to be for Windows 7 only. Also according to this , you need Windows Professional.   3) Virtual Box Machine    Let's you emulate Windows. Seems overkill for my purposes. Plus I would need to buy a 32 bit Windows license. I think it would run slowly with 4GB of Ram.  4) Partition drive into 32bit and 64 bit versions Apparently, you can use the free tool  to split the drive into two and then install separate 32bit and 64 bit versions.   Again, seems overkill and it looks like I would need buy a 32 bit Windows 10 license.   Are these my only options?     Images  Installation    First run (From the error message I guess it's a 16-bit program)   Clicking on programme

I've installed VirtualBox using the Software Centre and I'm running a system on Ubuntu 14.04 with 8gb RAM, 64-bit dual core processor.  I want to run Windows 10, I've tried both 64 and 32 bit versions, in virtualbox. However, every time I start up windows 10 it gets to the point where the dots go round in a circle, then it freezes up and crashes back to the virtualbox manager. The only information it gives me is that the virtual machine was aborted.  I've changed the settings around a lot and nothing is working.  Any help would be appreciated.  Oh, and I've run Windows 10 technical preview on this machine before, a while ago  Thanks for any help in advance.

I'm running  on a Windows 7 (RTM) 64-bit host. When I create a new virtual machine and try to install 64-bit Windows 7 on that VM, I get "this CPU is not compatible with 64-bit mode."  Is there a way to create 64-bit virtual machines?

Ok, I've always, for some reason, thought that my cpu had 32 bit registers... so I always installed the 32bit version of all OSs that I've used. Now though I ran a lscpu, and I get:  fer@fer-lap:~$ lscpu Arquitectura:          i686 CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit   Does this mean I can use 64 bit OSs?  Running these I get:  fer@fer-lap:~$ grep flags /proc/cpuinfo  flags       : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush dts acpi mmx fxsr sse sse2 ss ht tm pbe nx lm constant_tsc arch_perfmon pebs bts aperfmperf pni dtes64 monitor ds_cpl est tm2 ssse3 cx16 xtpr pdcm lahf_lm dtherm   And I have read that the lm flag means long mode, which stands for 64 bit cpus. Also, as a last test, running lshw gives, for the cpu section:   *-cpu:0               descripción: CPU               producto: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     T5800  @ 2.00GHz               fabricante: Intel Corp.               id físico: 4               información del bus: cpu@0               versión: 6.15.13               serie: 0000-06FD-0000-0000-0000-0000               ranura: U2E1               tamaño: 2GHz               capacidad: 4096MHz               anchura: 64 bits   It's in spanish and the last line stands for width (I guess register width). So... can I install the 64 bit of the OS? Will it be a big diference in performance? Because that's what I'm looking for (doesn't need to be a BIG difference)  Thanks in advance.
