The growth of big data leads to larger and more complex data sets used by users in Excel workbooks, and 4K+ displays on desktops along with the corresponding higher-resolution visuals in PowerPoint presentations are becoming more and more common. 64-bit Office gives them access to the additional memory needed to meet their performance requirements, and with both modern hardware and modern customer scenarios, the number of users that will benefit from 64-bit Office is continuously increasing. The majority of feedback has been positive, with many of our customers sharing with us that their users are working with increasingly large, complex files and datasets on their desktops. Custom applications and Microsoft Access can also take advantage of long numbers and data formats.64-bit Office apps perform better with very large files, videos and tables across Office in Excel, PowerPoint and Project.We have optimized the latest version of Office to take advantage of the specs and configurations of these modern desktops.As more and more modern desktops now run in 64-bit, the benefits of 64-bit Office continue to increase.Using 64-bit Office offers multiple advantages over the 32-bit version, including: Office 365 ProPlus and Office 2019 continue to offer both 64-bit and 32-bit versions, the only change is that 64-bit is now the default installed version. This post gives a little bit more background on the change and opens a place to further the conversation with the community on the 64-bit version of Office ProPlus and 2019. We have also seen the rest of the industry catch up in support of 64-bit Office add-ins. We are excited about the 64-bit default update, because it allows customers take advantage of the resources of current hardware and a 64-bit operating system for increasingly common heavy workloads in Office. Office has been available in both 32-bit and 64-bit for several years and beginning at last Ignite, we updated our recommendation and now default setting to 64-bit.
