Enable 32-bit Mode

Hi, Is there a way to enable 32 bit mode like downgrading in updates to before 32-bit was removed (if i can't i might just switch to Windows)

Revert your Mac to a previous macOS version


Catalina no longer supports 32 bit code. The last version of macOS that did is Mojave.


Have at it.

You would still have to purchase apps that will work with Windows as the Mac apps won't.


What apps are you concerned about? There are alternatives and updates for many apps.


If you have Time Machine running and have a backup of your previous system before Catalina you can go back to it by following the instructions in the link that ikrupp provided.
