You can upgrade to the 64-bit version by clicking on the menu command 'Help | Online Support | Upgrade to 64-bit version' and following the instructions. Alternatively, you can download the latest 64-bit version from the provided link, unzip the file, and run the installer.

Yes, if you already have a license for the 32-bit version, you do not need a new one. Your existing license will work with the 64-bit version.

The 64-bit version offers several advantages, including full support for 64-bit preview handlers, thumbnail providers, IFilters, shell context menu, and codecs. It also provides full Unicode support, ID3v2Tag read and write capabilities, the ability to use more than 4GB of RAM, and larger string memory. Additionally, it has zero dependencies and is fully compatible with the 32-bit version's configuration files.

Yes, there are some known issues with the 64-bit version. These include slower startup time (up to three times slower), slower text content searching (up to five times slower), and issues with previewing animated GIF, HTML, ZIP, and SVG files outside the main window. There may also be problems with multiple monitors and different DPI scalings.

As a temporary workaround, you can change the properties of XYplorer.exe or its shortcut. Right-click on the file or shortcut, select Properties, open the Compatibility tab, click 'Change high DPI settings', and check the 'Override high DPI scaling behavior' box. Select 'System' under 'Scaling performed by'. Note that this workaround may cause the app to look blurry on scaling other than 100%.

Yes, both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions can be installed and run side by side without problems. The 64-bit version is installed in a different location (C:\Program Files\XYplorer) compared to the 32-bit version (C:\Program Files (x86)\XYplorer).
