1. Play 32 Bit Games On Catalina

Jul 24, 2019  This should help avoid any issues with macOS Catalina. How do I check for 32-bit apps on my Mac? Older Microsoft apps will no longer function and require updating. By default, macOS will send you a dialog box if you attempt to open a 32-bit app in macOS Mojave. The popup will say that the app is “not optimized for your Mac,” or something.

In a recent blog post, my colleague Kayla Myrhow did an excellent job explaining the 32-bit application issue for users who are considering or have already moved to macOS® Catalina. In this post, I’ll show you how to set up your Mac® to continue to run 32-bit apps. You can do this either before or after you upgrade to macOS Catalina.

There are only two steps, but it does take about 45 minutes to complete this setup:

1. MacOS Catalina will not run 32-bit apps at all, so the first thing to do is to check whether any of the apps you are currently using on your Mac are 32-bit and make plans to stop relying on them.
2. Oct 09, 2019  Aspyr has announced that today is the last day of sales for its 32-bit Mac games, in anticipation of Apple's upcoming move to 64-bit only apps on macOS Catalina later this year.

1. Create a Parallels Desktop® for Mac virtual machine and install an older Mac operating systemin it.
2. Install the 32-bit apps you wantinto this new virtual machine.

I made a videoof this entire process—I edited out the boring parts but left all the essentialsteps. The end result is the 5-minute video below. For this video, I chosemacOS High Sierra as the older Mac OS, but you could install Mojave, Sierra oralmost any older Mac OS. I also chose the Office for Mac 2011 suite as the32-bit application, because several users have told me that it contains the setof 32-bit apps that they most want to run in Catalina.

After you finish this setup, you will be able to run 32-bit apps on your Mac running macOS Catalina.

Try Parallels Desktop for free for 14 days and run 32-bit apps on your Mac.
