I have a new PC running windows 10 professional 64 bit. I installed office 2019 professional plus and there no prompt for 32 or 64 bit. Some time later, to my surprise, I noticed that the 32 bit version was installed. I uninstalled it using the uninstallation tool and reinstalled it and again, there was no prompt for 32 or 64 bit and again the 32 bit version was installed.
