hi!! not the autor but i believe the "32.exe" version is for 32bits pc. if you don't know if yours are 64 or 32 i recommend checking b4 running the program!! (sorry, english isn't my first language)

It has already been answered but I guessed I could give a bit more info. If you're not interested in it I invite you to ignore this.

The 32 .exe is for 32-bit computers. It will probably run poorly if you have a 64-bit installation of Windows/any other OS. 

The other one is for 64-bit computers. It will not run on a 32-bit OS.


If your computer came installed with Windows 8 or later, it is most probably a 64-bit computer, and if it has Windows 11, it is impossible that it is 32-bit. 

Any computer with 4GB or more RAM (basically any computer made after 2014, except very very low end ones, but let's be honest these ones wouldn't survive 9 whole years) has a 64-bit OS, as 32-bit ones can only handle 3GB maximum.
