This helped me a lot when I got this 64 bit machine. I use an app called Isaac for downloaded and analyzing data from a bicycling power meter. It was 32 bit. The fix was really fiddly requiring 5 or 6 downloaded files that had to be installed in a certain way and order. If an error is made you can go back. I had to go to a previous backup and go again being careful to dot every tee and cross every eye or something like that.

I still have some 32 bit apps that are unusable. I just don't care very much.
