I assume you mean a 32-bit processor. In either case, this depends on the software. Typically secondary programs (Word processors, games, etc) have a 32-bit build included with them / hard coded into their actual 64-bit compile, and will typically work in both environments. This isn't something that will always be the case, it is sort of a fail-safe since so many people haven't made the 64 bit jump yet.

Operating systems, hardware drivers, and primary programs (Integrated OS programs such as Windows Media Player and Windows Installer) are incompatible with a 32-bit processor if they are compiled in a 64-bit environment.

This means do NOT get a 64-bit operating system if you still have a 32-bit processor. Some things may or may not work, but it will be more trouble than its worth either way.

This is not true in reverse: A 64-bit processor will have no issues running 32-bit programs, operating systems, or drivers.

What are the Example of Application-Specific Software?

Specialised software is often written for specific companies or types of industries or organisations, that need it and it is not the kind of software you can just buy in a shop. If you want to do word processing, then it is very easy to go to a shop and buy a word processor. If you have your own company and want software to run some of your companies specialities, there would be no software that could do that in a shop, so you would get someone to write it for you. That would be specialised software. Software for companies like shops or financial institutions or for a doctor's surgery or for or managing online sales etc. would all be specialised. You would sell millions of copies of a word processor, but software that is specially written would only be used by very few people, so that is why it is not sold in shops and has to be specially designed. Ordinary computer users would have no interest in it, unlike a word processor, which almost anyone can use.
