How to right install a Flash Player for 64bit Win8.1 and tell if the Fox installed one is right 64bit but 86x machine version please?

Flash Player is a built-in component of Internet Explorer on Windows 8 and higher.  There is nothing that you need to download from Adobe.  Updates are delivered directly through Windows Update.

If you're using Internet Explorer but are unable to view Flash content, the following might help you:

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:

Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.

You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.
