  4. Update all the Apps: The macOS 10.15 Catalina will remove the 32-bit support, so you have to make sure to update them or consider updating to Catalina. The below statement was Jennifer who appointed it on the Microsoft community.

I purchased Microsoft Office 2011 along with the purchase of my MacBook.  I did an upgrade yesterday only to find that Office 2011 will only run on 32 bit.  The upgrade now requires Microsoft Office to run on 64bit.  I read in many places that Microsoft has no intentions of supporting this upgrade so therefore, I can no longer safely use this software, that I purchased, on my mac.  Microsoft is forcing me to purchase something I have already purchased earlier.

To check for the 32-bit apps, go to the Apple menu> system report, then scroll down to the software section, then select an application. Click on the apps and find ready the details of the App. In front of the 64-bit (Intel), if yes is written it means it 64 bit if not it mean it is 32-bit.
