Do they seriously not support 32bit software out of the box anymore? I know getting 16bit software to run on x64 is close to impossible (look up NTVDM x64) for obvious reasons but there is still lots of x86-only stuff.
32-bit software is still absolutely supported on amd64. Just go to
C:\Program Files (x86)
and be amazed.That’s what I thought because that was my experience last time I used Windows; that's why it surprised me that the previous comment suggested otherwise.
16bit is definitely possible to run on x64.
You just have to run the same software 4 times simultaneously, duh.
Checkmate atheists!
