Why I am unable to install the latest version of iTunes on my laptop running Windows 8.1?

I tried multiple times to download iTunes (latest version) (64 - bit) on my Windows 8.1. It says this version is incompatible with Windows. Also i saw on Apple's website that there's something called iTunes 64 bit installer. What's that? Any help?

Windows 8, Windows 8.1

Apple's website should provide the correct installer version for your system. If not, you can use these direct links:



In your case, you should use the second one, unless you get a message during video incompatibility during installation, or subsequently encounter issues with playback quality or integration with 3rd party applications - in these cases the "for older video cards" installer may be more appropriate.


One other point - you are using standard Windows 8.1, and not Windows RT as found on the Surface and Surface 2?

Hi, sorry for bothering again. It finished downloading and I found out that was the same version i had previously downloaded. I also received 'To find a version for your PC, check with the software published.'.

I also saw this on the link to download it '

64-bit editions of Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8 require the iTunes 64-bit installer' What's that installer?
