    registry setting enabled that lets you run non 64 bit programs

    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.
