    Hello @PeterT3,
    The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.
    If you have more than 4GB of memory in Mac side, you may download a 64 bit version of Windows 10.
