If your menus look different, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/classic-desktop-vs-new-outlook\/\">check whether you&#8217;re using classic or new Outlook<\/a>, using the guide&#8217;s File \/ Office Account and version-number sections.<\/p>\n<p>How do you check your Outlook version? First off, if you have Outlook 2007 then you have 32-bit Outlook. Outlook 2007 only comes in a 32-bit package.<\/p>\n<p>If you have Outlook 2010 or higher <strong>and<\/strong> you have 64-bit Windows then there is a chance you have 64-bit Outlook. You have to check, because 32-bit versions of Outlook run perfectly fine in 64-bit Windows. In fact, the 32-bit version of Outlook is even offered by Microsoft Outlook 365 by default on new installs and is much more common than 64-bit Outlook.So to be sure, it is necessary to find out whether you have Outlook 2010, 2013, 2016, or 2019. In your desktop version of Outlook, go to File. In that column look for \u201c<strong>Help<\/strong>\u201c\u2026if you see it, then you have Outlook 2010 and you can see whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit Outlook after the version number.If you don\u2019t see \u201c<strong>Help<\/strong>\u201d but you do see \u201c<strong>Office Account<\/strong>\u201c, then click that. Then click the \u201cAbout Microsoft Outlook\u201d button (on the right):\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" width=\"1024\" height=\"625\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-1-1024x625.png\" alt=\"About Outlook shows 32-bit or 64-bit Outlook\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-1-1024x625.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-1-510x311.png 510w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-1-64x39.png 64w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-1-300x183.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-1-768x469.png 768w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-1-1080x659.png 1080w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-1.png 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>and you will be able to see whether you have 32-bit or 64-bit Outlook after the version number:<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img width=\"693\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-2-1.png\" alt=\"About Outlook image shows 32-bit or 64-bit Outlook\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-2-1.png 693w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-2-1-510x515.png 510w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-2-1-64x65.png 64w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-2-1-297x300.png 297w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-2-1-60x60.png 60w, https:\/\/www.sperrysoftware.com\/Email-Tools\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/About-Outlook-Button-2-1-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 693px) 100vw, 693px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>View a <a href=\"\/Email-Tools\/list-of-outlook-how-tos\/\">list of useful Outlook how to articles<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Feel free to also chat with us by clicking on the \u201cLive Chat\u201d icon.
