Good afternoon everyone, I hope all of you are having a blessed Summer. Today after doing some research on Python 3 for Windows I decided to install and run x86 vs x64 since some libraries (that I will likely not use for some time as a new programmer) have yet to be converted to x64. Basically, I am playing it safe.
Or is my research wrong? Is x64 the new go-to? I do not feel I am going to notice a difference between the two, but if there is a valid reason to consider x64 over x86 I would love to hear it.
I am a new programmer. My system was hit by a surge of lightning a few nights ago and I lost everything on my backup HDD due to file corruption. So I have since installed a fresh Windows 10 Pro and removed the dual-boot into Ubuntu (I now run it on a VM). My total install with everything installed and backed up for a refresh is now 36GB (I left all of my games off of my PC to focus on learning Python programming).
Is there any benefit to x64 at all?
