To use many newer applications, you’ll need a 64-bit version of Windows — typically Windows 10 or 11.  

  • Start by checking the System Requirements listed for the application you want to use.
  • Then check the version of Windows installed on your computer by right-clicking on the "My Computer" or "This PC" icon in Windows Explorer, then choosing Properties from the pop-up menu.

If you already have a 64-bit version of Windows 10 or 11 on your computer, you do not need to download a newer version.  Skip to the next step.
