As of PrPro CS 5, it is ONLY a 64-bit program, requiring a 64-bit OS to install/run. Going back to CS 5, if one had the Production Premium suite, PrPro CS 4 (32-bit) was included. I do not recall any 32-bit versions of any of the Production Studio, or Master Collection, being included with CS 6.

It is an OS upgrade, or nothing.

Good luck,

Hunt

Alright, Thank you 3 both. Now I hve one final question on this forum.

Can you get a laptop with a 64-bit operating system, and if so, how does it handle, compared to a 32-bit? e.g. Faster, slower, runs hotter etc. (I know there are a lot of variables in that, but just in general.)

Thanks!

Your best bet with any editing system is to wipe the hard drive and install Windows yourself, then install only those programs you need for editing.  Use a second computer for everything else, like web surfing, email, games, etc.

So from that perspective, yes you can have a laptop with a 64 bit OS.  You just need to buy the right version of Windows.

As Jim stated, an emphatic NO. Premiere Pro CS6 is 64-bit exclusive, and thus requires an entirely 64-bit system (CPU and OS). If your system has only a 32-bit OS installed, Premiere Pro versions since CS5 will not even install at all, let alone run at all, on that system. The last version of Premiere Pro to support Windows x32 was CS4.

It will not even install on a 32 bit OS.  You must have 64 bit Windows.

It does seem to be running just fine under Windows 8.
