Hello everyone. I´m having a little issue when I try to install blender on my PC.
“This installation package is not supported with this processor type. Contact your product vendor”.

I still can´t get any solution to this problem.

My PC is a little old, but it still rocks (or I thought so)…

Windows 10 pro, Intel Core i3, 3,07Ghz, 6,0Gb RAM, 32 bit operating sytem x64 based processor. Nvidia GeFoce GT 240.

I hope you can help me please.

There’s your problem.

Why use a 32 bit operating system in 2010 not to even mention in 2020 is beyond me.

Idk, when I upgraded winwos 10 installled the 32 bit OS, but as i remembered, this PC had Windows 7 64 bit OS. Is there any way to change it? or I need to buy a new PC and give this one to the gods as an offering?

I can see your processor is a x64, so it is compatible with windows 10 64 bit operating system , just find Windows 10 installation disc and switch to 64 bit OS
You can use Google to find instructions of how you can switch to windows 10 x64 bit

But in all seriousness, Windows has a re-install utility, so you can probably just use that if you’re comfortable with Microsoft’s spyware :sunglasses:

Hi, you cant “upgrade”, you need a clean/new install and you can use the same license key.

Cheers, mib
