Re: Why are people still on 32-bit windows
Hey, IT tech here. The reason why your IT dept. installed 32 bit everywhere ain't dumb. The sad truth is, that Microsoft itself is pushing (recommending) the 32-bit version as better working for the Office package. Because of this most of the addins are also made just for the 32bit verions. This way, if your IT dept would install 64bit, there is a higher chance of running into issues and it would also make people in your company unable to use some of the addins they might be using. Sad part is, as you mentioned, you can't just have 32bit office and 64bit SfB or OneDrive. Everything has to match so because of Microsoft not being able to make the 64bit office as viable as the 32 bit, the other software from them will suffer like that. 32bit is a standard and everytime you try to install Office from their site, it will automaticly be 32bit unless you change it yourself. Hope that answered your question.
