Win64 C++ Compiler Needed!

    I am looking online for a C++ compiler for Win64. I have Open Watcom, but its 64-bit support is experimental. :( I have a way outdated version of Visual Studio, and I'm currently installing it on a Win98SE minitower. However, I want to code for Win64. To save money, I'm willing to go down as far as Win8/64. I also need some programming docs., as my knowledge of C/C++ and Windows programming is incomplete. Any ideas?

    Before I install these, does the 64-bit version run on Win7? Does the 32-bit version also run on Win7? I installed an old version of Visual Studio on a Win98SE computer but have yet to use it.

    Which version of Win7 do you have? You run the 64-bit version on a 64-bit Win 7 and similarly you run a 32-bit version on 32-bit Win 7. It all depends on the chipset that your Win7 system is running on but as you're using "Win64" it is highly likely you will need the 64-bit version installed.

    Or are you trying to compile on a 64-bit system to generate executables to run on a 32-bit system?

    I have both versions of Win7 on different laptops. I also want to compile and run 32-bit code on 64-bit systems. Thank you. :)

    Both versions of the program didn't install on my WIn7/64 laptop at program: it was incompatible with that version of Windows. :(
