installing on 32 bit even system is 64 bit after factory reset

most installers are 32 bit, the actual program once installed will run as 64bit, remember older programs and games may run under 32bit.

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Arash, as mentioned above many applications are installed in 32 bits.

By your description you reinstalled your system correctly, you can check the version by following the instructions in the link below.

See which version of Windows 10 you have

... Also in the system requirements for the games islt says attention. You are on a (X86) system you need a (X64) system, well im im confused because im running a 32 bit system with a 32 bit version of windows 10 pro (fully up to date).

As you say you are running a 32 bit version of Windows 10 (i.e. a X86 version), you can't run apps and games that require a 64 bit system (X64).

You would have to completely re-install Windows 10 to upgrade to a 64 bit version (if your PC hardware supports a 64 bit OS).

Hi Jake,

FSX is a 32 bit Simulator and does run very well on a 64 bit OS. With a 32 bit system, FSX can only utilize about 2 gbs RAM & it doubles if on a 64 bit system. There is a way of slightly increasing the usage on a 32 bit system - I can get that if you need
it.

Make sure in the logitech driver download it says 64 bit. Going to that link in Firefox only gave me the 32 bit option, which installs without error, but does nothing. Chrome gave me the 64 bit download. There was no way I could see to manually change
to the 64 bit download or even see that it was an option.

This was driving me nuts until I saw the screenshot above that said 64 bit.
