Default Is 32-bit okay for 53bit or not?

Alas, I have 64-bit, but further down it says "Format Description: Dell

designed to run on Microsoft Windows 64bit Operating Systems. Dell

driver update be sure to select the one that is appropriate for your
operating system."


Yes, 99.9% of 32-bit apps work just fine in 64-bit Windows. There's only
a few very specialized ones that require a specific 32-bit OS.
