Alas, I have 64-bit, but further down it says "Format Description: Dell

designed to run on Microsoft Windows 64bit Operating Systems. Dell

Yes, 99.9% of 32-bit apps work just fine in 64-bit Windows. There's only
a few very specialized ones that require a specific 32-bit OS.

Thanks. I'm convinced (though I haven't had time to install anything
yet. I delayed answering until I did, but it's taking too long).

I wonder why they have to be so convoluted in their description.
