I have been trying to install an application on the Windows  Store on my Venue 8 device, and while I have a x64 architecture it says that I do not meet the system requirements because I have x86, but this is not true. How do I fix this?

    You have Windows 10 32bit installed although your computer is 64bit. With 32bit installed you cannot run 64bit programs.

    To change Windows 10 to 64bit it would mean a clean install wiping all data from the internal drive so you would need to backup all your personal files.
