Q: Can I run 32-bit programs on a 64-bit computer?

A: Many programs designed for a computer running a 32-bit version of Windows will work on a computer running 64-bit versions of Windows without any changes. However, in some cases there might be differences in performance. If you have a 64-bit computer, it is best to run programs designed to run on a 64-bit computer.
