Unable to play 64 bit games in 32bit

[jpchint]

Unable to play games like battlefield 3,etc in my 32 bit laptop.Why cant i play 64 bit(x64) games in 32 bit(x86) OS?
All the latest HC games are coming with 64 bit OS.Is it possible to convert my laptop to 64 bit?

There is a reason the games require x64 bit............Of course you cannot make them work in x32.

x64 is backward compatible with x32, but you cannot make x64 only work on x32.

The only way is to reinstall windows in x64.

I did notice another problem. Two anti virus programs at the same time.
When you do installed a 64 bit Windows 7 just use one anti virus program.
If it was me I would choose MSE.

Internet Speed 921.6 kbps(Dial up Connection)
Antivirus Quick Heal,MSE
Browser Opera,Chrome

What I find on the internet your laptop should of come with Windows 7/64 Home Premium.
What does the COA Microsoft sticker on the laptop indicate?

My system is 64 bit capable,that means by simply installing a 64 bit win 7 OS,i can convert my system into 64 bit.Thats it??

Yes, reinstall windows in x64. And you do not have dos, you have windows 7....

Some where on the laptop their should be a Microsoft COA sticker.
It might be in the battery compartment.
You will need the numbers on that sticker.

You can't run a 64bit app/game on a 32bit windows... just install 64bit version of windows

That laptop is not going to be handling high end gaming, sorry, CPU class is too low: i3-2350, even if you do upgrade to 64-bit 7, won't matter, hardware limitations including that sub-par for gaming video also.

You need a much higher tier laptop for that gaming, much better off cost/performance wise with a desktop.

It is impossible to run 64 bit software in 32 bit Windows. The very similar user interface tends to hide the fact that internally these operating systems are VERY different. 64 bit Windows does not have an automatic ability to run 32 bit software. A 64 bit OS requires a 32 bit subsystem that was specifically designed to make this possible. There is no similar system to allow 64 bit software to run on a 32 bit OS.

The only possible option is to install a 64 bit OS. This would requires a clean install of the OS and all applications. But understand that the computer is a low end laptop and unsuitable for serious gaming.

I know I'm a bit late to the party but can you tell us or link to a specific 64-bit only game?

BTW Windows 64-Bit runs a WoW scheme... Windows on Windows which allows 32-bit applications to run on it - Running 32-bit Applications (Windows)

And yes, a 64-bit app will require a 64-bit OS to properly run, or even install, but as far as I know, none of the game you list are 64-bit specific, nor are there any 64-bit only exclusive games (as of yet).

There are games that are optimized for a 64-bit OS, there have even been 64-bit specific patches for a 64-bit OS. Far Cry AMD 64-bit patch comes to mind. But that was a patch to optimize the game for Windows XP x64, the base game was still 32-bit.

Just in case this wasn't pointed out.

^ BF3 also listed 32-bit OS in their system requirements

Yeah so I'm not sure what the OP's issue is? And or the OP's stated issue is confusing

My friend's computer ran BF3 at 15 FPS with a Core 2 Duo, 2 gigs of ram, and GeForce 210. Suprising performance at low settings
