Sage 100 – Installation with 32-bit or 64-bit computer.
Question: Mike, we are upgrading our Sage 100 to version 2024 should we install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Sage 100.
Answer:
First, you should determine if your computer is a 32-bit or 64-bit version.
All Windows 11 installations are 64-bit, and Windows XP is most likely 32-bit.
For Windows 10, 8 & 7, go to Control Panel > System and Security > System. Check System type.
Windows Vista is similar but go to Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System.
It will look something like the screenshot.
Sage 100 installations prior to version 2024 will allow you to pick 32-bit or 64-bit.
Sage 100 2024 installation will default to the version that your computer has.
Be careful on which version you pick as there is a warning as shown below in the screenshot. After installing the 64-bit version of Sage 100, any 32-bit versions will no longer work.
We always suggest consulting with your Sage 100 Certified Consultant about this during any upgrade. But if you are doing an upgrade and have a previous version of Sage 100 installed with 32-bit that you are going to want to be able to look at in the future would suggest just installing the 32-bit version for the new version. Then once you have decommissioned the older version you can upgrade the new version to the 64-bit version.
