I am running Windows 7 64-bit on a Toshiba Satellite L505-S6959 with a T6500 processor. One of my very expensive 32-bit apps will not install. Will Windows 7 32-bit run on this processor?

I forgot to ask about 32-bit drivers. Will they be included with the full retail version of Windows 7 or do I have to get them from Toshiba?

for the processor there arent any drivers as such, win 7 will recognise it without an issue, for the rest of teh components i don't know, the chanes are that win 7 will have generic ones and that toshiba wll have their own specific ones

Hello;

The processor should be able to support both 64 or 32 bit operating systems, you can check your processor specifications here:

What I recommend is to check with the software manufacturer if the application will support both 32 bit or 64 bit operating systems only or if it will support both.
