Microsoft is [finally releasing a 64-bit version of OneDrive](https://www.engadget.com/onedrive-windows-64-bit-preview-222528824.html?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000618), roughly 14 years after the first 64-bit version of Windows was released. Engadget reports:

_In an [announcement](https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-onedrive-blog/onedrive-sync-64-bit-for-windows-now-in-public-preview/ba-p/2260619) spotted by Windows guru [Paul Thurrott](https://www.thurrott.com/cloud/microsoft-consumer-services/onedrive/248915/onedrive-for-windows-is-finally-going-64-bit?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=onedrive-for-windows-is-finally-going-64-bit), the company says the new version of OneDrive will help those who need to transfer large files or many files at the same time since 64-bit systems can access more resources than their 32-bit counterparts._

 

_“We know this has been a long-awaited and highly requested feature, and we’re thrilled to make it available for early access,” the company said. “You can now download the 64-bit version for use with OneDrive work, school, and home accounts.” One thing to note is the preview is currently only available on x64 installs of Windows. If you own a computer like the Surface Pro X – and therefore have Windows 10 on ARM installed on your system – you’ll have to wait. Microsoft recommends you continue using the 32-bit version for the time being._
