I have a Windows software that only has 64bit version and I want to run it on my linux computer. I know I can use wine on linux but my OS is 32bit and my hardware supports 64bit I know that I can run a 64bit program on a 32bit operating system using a virtual machine but I don't know how to do it. I hope someone will show me how to do it.

Well I didn’t think that was possible but have a look here https://askubuntu.com/questions/475653/does-virtualbox-run-64-bit-guests-on-a-32-bit-host. Install virtual box. It’s very easy to use. YouTube is you friend for demonstrations of how to use it – PonJar Sep 27 '19 at 15:39

1The OP does not mention how ram they have, which could limit how well a VM works. – crip659 Sep 27 '19 at 16:26

why are you running a 32bit os on 64bit hardware? you could use virtual box here is a post with some info and links
Can I use virtualbox with a 64 Bit image in a 32 bit host
but if it was my computer I would just backup my files and such then reinstall my 32bit ubuntu with 64bit ubuntu as it will then use all your hardware

1Other than the link, this doesn't seem to contain an actual answer. If the link actually contains a way to do what the asker wants, you should include relevant information in your answer, in case the link rots. – Zeiss Ikon Sep 27 '19 at 15:44

4I’d say reinstalling a 64 bit Ubuntu is a better solution than the solution @ryzer proposed in his question – PonJar Sep 27 '19 at 15:56
