Okay, bought a new 64 bit Windows 10 Lap Top and bought the Office subscription. Soooo why does it install the 32 bit version? How can this be changed to 64 bit? And do me a favor and don't ask me why I need the 64 bit version. Thanks for the help!

    Vardhaman,

    I'm looking forward to your solution to remedy my 32-bit install.   (HOPEFULLY)

    We've all been running around like chickens with our heads cut off leading up to our election.  That said, I may have missed something (I was installing drivers for our new printer on our desktop at that time.).

    I've installed programs for years and I don't think I missed the Additional Install Options.   Your after-the-fact links aren't at all helpful!   

    The question was "Okay, bought a new 64 bit Windows 10 Lap Top and bought the Office subscription. Soooo why does it install the 32 bit version? How can this be changed to 64 bit?"

    We'd appreciate a useful answer.

    Thanks, Grace
