Question How can I use 32-bit software on Windows 10 64-bit ?

[Rizwan_Khalid]

Greetings to everyone.
For a dual boot operating system I have an HP G5 850 laptop with:
i5 8th gen CPU
8 gb ram,
512GB NVMe SSD.

Can i install Windows 10 32-bit. (I want to use MYOB Premier 32-bit software) or can any one tell me how to use 32bit softwate on Windows 10 x64?.
i have tried iis setting but can't open my 32bit application (MYOB v9). This messege pops up:
"This application can't run on your PC"

Please can any one suggest some suitable solution?
Thanks a lot.

You can run a 32bit software on a 64bit platform, if you didn't know.

Just curious, where did you source the installer for your app?

I have MYOB Premiere Plus 1.5.8 offline accounting software. It can be run on any 32-bit Windows 7, 8 or 10.

Now i have bought new laptop with Windows 10 64-bit but it can't run my MYOB application.
A message pops up "This app can't run on your PC".

Please tell me if you know a proper way how to use 32-bit app on 64-bit Windows.

for Dual boot operating system, can i install windows 10 32bit.

Sure.
Create a separate partition for windows 10 32bit and install windows in it.

There would be differences from standard clean install.
1. You have to create a separate a partition for windows 10 32bit
(size 120GB minimum, maybe more depending on your app size).
2. Create windows install media for 32bit version.
3. Boot from created installation media.
4. During install do not delete existing partitions and
specify your newly created partition for new windows 32bit.

Should be possible.
If I remember correctly, only windows 7 32bit required MBR/BIOS to boot.
Not sure, if windows 10 32bit has this limitation.

Just as with 64-bit Windows Vista and later, 32-bit Windows 8 and later can boot from GPT if UEFI mode is enabled.

Legacy BIOS mode can only boot from MBR. And 32-bit Vista/7 would probably boot from GPT... except UEFI isn't supported at all on those.

finally i have intalled vmware to install older windows of 32bit. my problem is solved. but I don't think vmware is reliable for data corruption problem.
at last thanx to everyone who helped me. Thank you

I looked at a video of the install. in the video the app was in a compressed archive that you had to decompress or extract before you could run the installer. You might check the file name and extension of the file you are trying to run to set the app up. .exe should be runnable. .rar or .zip is an archive you would have to extract from before running.
