ELI5, what’s the difference between Program Files and Program Files (x86)?
gpt
Program Files stores 64-bit programs, Program Files (x86) stores 32-bit programs. The difference is that, amongst other things, the 64-bit programs can utilise more RAM and bus. Hence more efficient programs will be the ones in the non x86 file, especially in more modern, high end machines.
