64 bit windows?

If I have 32/64 bit windows installed can I still use the discover university pack? Or does it have to just be 64 bit?

  • @Killilpi Discover University does need a 64 bit Windows.

    What do you mean you have 32/64 bit installed ? Do you have some kind of dual installation ?

    There is no such thing as 32/64. It is either 32 bit or 64 bit. Discover University requires that you do not run the legacy edition of the sims regardless of if your PC runs a 32 bit or 64 bit Windows version. If you run legacy on 64 bit you can change to the normal version it is a simple setting change in Origin. If you run the command "winver" without "" the About Windows will open. Look at the version line if it at the end it says 32 bit that is what you are running. For 64 bit this will not be displayed.

    @Killilpi That just means that if you buy this you get both 32 bit and 64 bit and can install either. For Windows Computers there's really no reasons to install Windows 32 bit anymore unless your computer is about 20 years old or has less than 4 GB RAM.

    Install the 64 bit and you're good to go
