No it will not. You need 64 bit system to have 64 bit software.

Thanks. This was really helpful. I’m in the process of downloading some architecture stuff and it asked me if my computer’s OS was 32 or 64, and I hadn’t known anything about it. Now i know that mine is 32, and can continue downlading this thing. Thanks a bunch.

I have a Compaq Presario CQ56-219WM and it recently died. I am not sure if my Windows 7 was 64 or 32. Is there anyway to tell? I was getting the errors: no operating system, no boot disk and also no hardrive when I tried to test it. I purchased a new hard drive and am getting ready to order recovery disk. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I thought about making repair disks and trying them on the old hard drive but probably not much use huh? Thanks.

Sorry for my previous comment. Well this saved a lot of time. Some softwares have different download files for 32bit/64bit OS, and I always had to download both files and test them to see which one will work. I just followed your steps and figured out my OS is 32 bit thank you for sharing.

Uh, dude, if you don’t have an operating system, you’ll know it. Namely by the black screen that comes up by saying that there is no operating system detected. If that has not happened, then you have an os. If you are using the computer, you have an os.

Your computer processor /chip= 64bit never 32 bit never will be relax. Processors are bolted on the motherboard only a miracle will alter them .

I recently bought a basic system, 500gb HD, 4 gigs ram, windows 7 home premium 32 bit on a 64 bit platform, Intel 2.8 processor. I run into the downloading choice of 32? or 64? Most 32 programs operate just dandy. Sometimes I am told, “sorry, we have detected a 64 bit system”, and they won’t download. This machine runs beautifully and I’m the major obstacle when it jams up. I use CCleaner, Puran Defrag, best I’ve ever used, MalwareBytesAntiMalware (free), free SuperAntiSpyware, Kaspersky AV 2012(paid), and free SpyWare Blaster. Nothing conflicts. All updated daily. I tried the newest and biggest SpyBot recently, and it jammed it all up. The older version does fine, however. I also use the free Returnil System Safe 2011 for it’s Virtual feature, which acts like a SandBoxie, which doesn’t want to work on this system. Why Windows allowed this 32/64 hybrid to be still confuses me. But, the price was right, and I trust Santa Rosa Computers. So, I haven’t offerd any eal insight, but nobody mentioned the existence of this option. Peace and clarity to you all, and, in the immortal words of Lenny Bruce, “You can’t get snot off a suede jacket”. Ratguard
