MACUSER 32- OR 64-BIT SOFTWARE- The section on the right may go
blank for a moment. This is because your
Mac is compiling a list of software on your
Mac. When the window appears, it will
have two sections. The top section is the
list of software. The bottom section shows
more details about an item if you click on it
in the list.
If you click and hold the
dot in the divider between
the two sections, you can
resize the window so you
can see more of the list, or
more of the details. - In the list, there is a
column called “64-Bit (Intel)”
that is located to the far right
of the top row. If you don’t see
it, expand the window by
clicking and dragging the right
edge, or you can scroll the window to the
right. Once you see the 64-bit (Intel) column,
you can click, hold, and drag it to the left to
reposition it closer to the app names.- Now you can see if a particular app
on you Mac is 64-bit or not. If it’s listed as
Yes, it’s 64-bit. If it’s No, it’s a 32-bit app,
and you need to upgrade it before using
macOS 10.15.
