Yes. But only if it's Vista or 7; it won't run on XP or below.
Yes. It can run either the 32-bit or the 64-bit version of Windows 8. I'd recommend the 64-bit version.
No you can't because 64-bit won't run on an x86 (32-bit) PC. You have to have the x86 version.
You have to buy the 32 bit version and reinstall windows with the 32 bit version you bought
If you are currently running a 32-bit version of Windows, you can only perform an upgrade to another 32-bit version of Windows. Similarly, if you are running a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, you can only perform an upgrade to another 64-bit version of Windows Vista. If you want to move from a 32-bit version of Windows to a 64-bit version of Windows Vista, you'll need to back up your files and then perform a custom installation of the 64-bit version of Windows 8.

Switching from 64-bit Windows to 32-bit would require purchasing and installing another copy of Windows. This is generally not necessary, anyway, since the 64-bit version can run 32-bit apps just fine.
The free upgrade to Windows 10 typically refers to the upgrade from Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 to Windows 10, and it can include both 32-bit and 64-bit versions, depending on the version you are upgrading from. If you are running a 32-bit version of Windows 7 or 8.1, you will receive the 32-bit version of Windows 10; similarly, a 64-bit version will upgrade to 64-bit Windows 10. To take advantage of the 64-bit upgrade, your hardware must support it.
To use 64-bit specific applications, you must purchase both a 64-bit processor and a 64-bit version of Windows. 64-bit applications will not run on 32-bit versions of Windows, even if a 64-bit capable processor is installed. You also cannot install a 64-bit version of Windows on a 32-bit only processor.
It is almost always better to install the 64-bit version of an operating system when the processor supports it. The only reasons to install the 32-bit version of Windows 7 would be if your Mac only has a 32-bit processor (only the 2006 Mac Minis and early 2006 iMacs had 32-bit processors), or if you need to run 16-bit Windows or DOS applications.

Win32 is the commonly abbreviated form of "Microsoft Windows 32-bit Operating System API," which means that the application was compiled to run on a 32-bit version of Microsoft Windows. There are several versions of Microsoft Windows that support 32-bit code, so the code must still take care to check the OS's version to make sure it is compatible with that version of Windows.A virus that has an assigned name that includes Win32 targets Microsoft Windows environments capable of running 32-bit code. A program written in Win32 C++, similarly, is written in, and compiled by, a version of C++ that will compile into a 32-bit Windows executable file or shared library (.DLL). This code may be able to run on any version of Windows from Windows 95 onward, although most modern programs require at least Windows XP Service Pack 3.
Yes Versions after 7.4 are compatible with the 32-bit version of Windows Vista. No version is compatible with the 64-bit version. Version 9.0 (the latest one) now requires Windows 7 (32 or 64-bit) and will not run on Windows Vista.
You simply run the 32 bit installer. Nothing more than that.
