excel 2007 or 2010 is compatible with 64 bit windows 7

[ABabeNChrist]

I was wondering if excel 2007 or 2010 and or Office is compatible with 64 bit windows 7, and 64 bit office 2010? Or if there are any issues that I should be concerned about. I’m thinking of upgrading and want to be absolutely sure before spending my hard earned money.

Both Excel 2007 and Excel 2010 run fine on 64-bits Windows 7.

Unless you want to work with huge (and I mean really HUGE) workbooks, I would strongly recommend to install the 32-bits version of Office 2010 instead of the 64-bits version. The 64-bits version is less compatible with older versions than the 32-bits version.

See 64-bit editions of Office 2010:

The recommendations for which edition of Office 2010 to install are as follows:

• If users in your organization depend on existing extensions to Office, such as ActiveX controls, third-party add-ins, in-house solutions built on previous versions of Office, or 32-bit versions of programs that interface directly with Office, we recommend that you install 32-bit Office 2010 (the default installation) on computers that are running both 32-bit and 64-bit supported Windows operating systems.
• If some users in your organization are Excel expert users who work with Excel spreadsheets that are larger than 2 gigabytes (GB), they can install the 64-bit edition of Office 2010. In addition, if you have in-house solution developers, we recommend that those developers have access to the 64-bit edition of Office 2010 so that they can test and update your in-house solutions on the 64-bit edition of Office 2010.

Also, you can have 32-bit Office or 64-bit Office installed but not both.
