Last time, after we talked about uninstalling WinRAR (64-bit), many friends suggested me to offer the uninstalling ways of 32bit. Considering there are still many people who are still using it, today let’s talk about it and I will give you some efficient ways to uninstall WinRAR (32-bit).
What is Winrar (32-bit)? & The Differences between 64bit
What is Winrar (32-bit) capable of?
WinRAR (32-bit) is defined as a 32-bit Windows-based archiver and archive manager used to create compressed files similar to the way it is handled by the popular ZIP compression format. This software utility is capable of creating multiple part archives which can be split into smaller parts normally using the RAR, R00, R01, and so on as its file extension format but can also use the ZIP extension if preferred by the user. Installation of this utility usually places an option in the context menu of the Operating System allowing the user to access the tool by right clicking on the file or folder to be compressed and initiating the compression process. This tool is equipped with a password protection feature in order to prevent unauthorized access to the contents of the compressed archive by locking it prior to its distribution to other users or saving into any storage media.
And here, many people would ask why more and more people start using WinRAR (64-bit) instead of WinRAR (32-bit)? Now, I would answer this question briefly.
What is WinRAR (32-bit) different from 64bit?
I just can say there is no big difference between WinRAR (64-bit) and WinRAR (32-bit). In fact, it’s just over the past few years, popularity of 64bit Windows has gone up through the roof and deservedly so since 64bit can address more than 4 GB of RAM (while 32bit can only address a bit more than 3 GB, which might not be sufficient today). And most people think 64bit is much faster than 32bit, so that’s it.
