It always defaults to 32bit. I'm totally new to ubuntu, but willing to learn this OS. Should have used it many years ago.....

    What defaults to 32bit. Are you using a 64bit installation disk? – Bruni May 03 '18 at 10:37

    The architecture 32/64-bit depends on the ISO file you had downloaded. For 64-bit you need the amd64 iso (link to download) – Takkat May 03 '18 at 10:46

    just a FYI: amd64 means 64bit (intel or amd) x86_64 and refers to the arch (or architecture). i386/586/686 is the 32bit x86 (intel or amd) arch. It's named amd64 for historical reasons (to separate it from the ia64 or intel's incompatible itanium (non-x86) cpu's) – guiverc May 03 '18 at 10:55

so as many people already commented check if you have the right version, cause if you have the 32-bit iso you can only install 32-bit. so please make sure you have the right iso file from the mainsite
