I have VMware Fusion 8.5.8 installed with the 32-bit version of Windows 10 installed as the guest operating system. I encounter episodes when this combination becomes extremely sluggish. Would I be better off switching to the 64-bit version of Windows 10 as the guest operating system?
I installed the 32-bit version of Windows 10 because I was concerned about Quicken Premier data files that I had to move from my 32-bit Windows XP Pro environment. My usage of Windows 10 is extremely limited. I routinely update Windows 10 but only run two applications in this environment: Quicken Premier 2017 and Mozilla Firefox. I should note that I prefer to keep the Windows 10 environment segregated from my OS X environment and run the VMware Fusion Windows 10 virtual machine in its own window.
I would appreciate comments from anyone that has used both versions of Windows 10 regarding which version provides better performance. Assuming that it is the 64-bit version, can anyone give some guidance in switching from the 32-bit to the 64-bit version of Windows 10.
