After purchasing designer for win 10, the file downloads, then appends a failed note with yellow tag. File will not execute. Win 10 is 64 bit, Asus AMD dual core A-9 9410 is 64 bit. Affinity photo works well on this computer. It doesnt even get to the page to enter Key. I have only ever had one email and Im using that one spelled correctly. Please help. I have been fighting with this for a long time and read the faqs. Robin Pentney

Absolutely gutted that Affinity doesn't support Windows 32 bit. There a many photo enthusiasts (as opposed to professionals) who can't easily justify (to their partners!) endless expense on gear and it is often forgotten that the computer is just another item in a fairly long list that must be funded. I run a quad Xeon that is plenty fast enough for my needs, but manufacturers keep forcing me upgrade (which I can't afford) or I must forget about the most recent software, which seems to be all 64 bit. My question: Can Affinity be compiled for 32 bit or does it use hardware/OS features that 32 bit machines/OS don't have? If the former, then please do it! If the latter, can you consider a 32 bit version? Here's hoping, because I used Serif years ago and quite like the company ethos. I ran with Photoshop for several years then swapped to Corel but to be honest I dislike them both and have been looking for a viable alternative for a long time.

I know that I get a low limit pc configuration, though I was curious how are the limits about my configuration
