Task Manager shows 32 bit version loaded
My computer and software are all 64 bit.
Windows 10 > Start> System > About: "64-bit operating system, x64-based processor"
How do I get 64 bit to load?

Hard Disk Sentinel is a 32 bit software, so it is normal and expected behaviour. There is no 64 bit version available - as there would be absolutely no need for it: in its current form it can work under both 32 and 64 bit version of Windows OS.
Using a 32 bit software on 64 bit Windows is completely normal and does not cause any problems / limitations or performance issues.
Even a clean Windows (64 bit) installation has 32 bit software (just check the C:\Program Files (x86) folder)

OK, thank you! So when it says 32 and 64 bit versions it's referring to the Windows O/S.
