Changing versions
To change from 32-bit to 64-bit or vice versa, use the links above. You'll need to make sure the version you install is the same version as you currently have, or newer. Check out Which version of OneDrive am I using? for more information.
Your device will be automatically updated to 64-bit if it meets the requirements.
Reasons to choose the 64-bit version
The 64-bit version is the right choice if you plan to use large files, if you have a lot of files, and if you have a computer that's running a 64-bit version of Windows.
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.
Reasons to choose the 32-bit version
The following computer systems can only install 32-bit OneDrive (check your Windows version).
-
64-bit operating system with ARM64-based processor not trying the ARM64
-
32-bit operating system with an x86 (32-bit) processor
