Opening 64 bit files in a 32 bit application

[bearcub]

I just found out that I would have uninstall my 64 bit Windows Office 16 with the 32 bit version because one of the databases we have was written in the 32 bit version. Will my Excel 64 bit files open in the 32 bit application without losing any functionality?

I have some formulas in some files that i don't want to lose or have to re write.

Formulas are not affected by 64/32 bit unless they use VBA code that calls API functions. In all honesty, you would be more likely to have problems going the other way.

So, if I were to go from 32 to 64 bit I would have more issues?

Also, will my favorites that I have pinned have to be reinstalled as well?

They are more likely, but that doesn't mean you would actually have any. It depends on what you use.

What favourites? Recent files?

Sorry, I meant a shortcut in my quick access in File Explorer. these the files that you want to access quickly.
