What you need to know:
- If you already have a 32-bit version of Microsoft Advertising Editor installed, then you will first need to uninstall the 32-bit version (this will delete the downloaded accounts) and then install the 64-bit version. Please note that this will delete your downloaded accounts, so after the installation, you will have to download your accounts again.
- Keep in mind that Microsoft Microsoft Advertising Editor version 11.0 and older Microsoft Advertising Editor version 10 can run side-by-side, so you will need to uninstall 32-bit version of both the applications before you install the 64-bit version.
