- Select a language, and accept the default to install 32-bit, or select Advanced and choose 64-bit from the drop-down list. If you are not sure which version to install, reference Choose the 64-bit or 32-bit version below:

Reasons to choose the 64-bit version
Computers running 64-bit versions of Windows generally have more resources such as processing power and memory than their 32-bit predecessors. Also, 64-bit applications can access more memory than 32-bit applications (up to 18.4 million Petabytes). If your scenarios include large files and or large datasets and your computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows, 64-bit is the right choice when:
- You are working with large datasets, like enterprise-scale Excel workbooks with complex calculations, many pivot tables, data connections to external databases, Power Pivot, 3D Map, Power View, or Get and Transform. The 64-bit version of Office may perform better in these cases.
- You are working with large pictures, videos, or animations in Microsoft PowerPoint. The 64-bit version of Office may be better suited to handle these complex slide decks.
- You are working with large pictures, videos, or animations in Microsoft PowerPoint. The 64-bit version of Office may be better suited to handle these complex slide decks.
- Your organization requires Hardware Data Execution Prevention (DEP) for Office applications. DEP is hardware and software technologies that some organizations use to enhance security. For 64-bit installs, DEP is always enforced, while on 32-bit installs you must configure DEP by using Group Policy settings.
- You are developing in-house Office solutions like add-ins or document-level customization. Using the 64-bit version of Office lets you deliver a 64-bit version of those solutions and a 32-bit version. In-house Office solution developers should have access to the 64-bit Office 2016 for testing and update these solutions.
Reasons to choose the 32-bit version
IT Professionals and developers should also review the following situations where the 32-bit version of Office is still the best choice for you or your organization.
- You have 32-bit COM Add-ins with no 64-bit alternative. You can continue to run 32-bit COM add-ins in 32-bit Office on 64-bit Windows. You can also try contacting the COM Add-in vendor and requesting a 64-bit version.
- You use 32-bit controls with no 64-bit alternative. You can continue to run 32-bit controls in 32-bit Office like Microsoft Windows Common Controls (Mscomctl.ocx, comctl.ocx), or any existing third-party 32-bit controls.
- Your VBA code uses Declare statements. Most VBA code does not change when using in 64-bit or 32-bit, unless you use Declare statements to call the Windows API using 32-bit datatype like long, for pointers and handles. Usually, adding PtrSafe to the Declare and replacing long with LongPtr makes the Declared statement compatible with both 32 and 64 bits. However, this might not be possible in rare cases where there is no 64-bit API to Declare.
- You have 32-bit MAPI applications for Outlook. With a growing number of 64-bit Outlook customers, rebuilding 32-bit MAPI applications, add-ins, or macros for 64-bit Outlook is the recommended option, but if needed you can continue to run them with 32-bit Outlook only, as well.
- You are activating a 32-bit OLE server or object. You can continue to run your 32-bit OLE Server application with a 32-bit version of Office installed.
- You are using SharePoint Server 2010 and you need the Edit in Datasheet view. You can continue to use the Edit in Datasheet view functionality in SharePoint Server 2010 with 32-bit Office.
- You need 32-bit Microsoft Access .mde, .ade, and .accde database files. While you can recompile 32-bit .mde, .ade, and .accde files to make them 64-bit compatible, you can continue to run 32-bit .mde, .ade, and .accde files in 32-bit Access.
- You require Legacy Equation Editor or Word Add-in libraries (WLL) files in Word. You can continue to use Legacy Word Equation Editor and run WLL files in 32-bit Word.
- You have an old embedded media file in your Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with no available 64-bit codec.
