I recently downloaded the trial version of Adobe Dreamweaver CC on my 64 bit laptop and during download, it did not ask whether I wanted the 64 bit version or the 32 bit version downloaded. Although 64 bit may be faster, I would prefer 32 bit because of the effect on the performance on my laptop. I was wondering whether the 32 bit version is available without Adobe scanning my computer and preventing the download of a 32 bit version of any of their programs. Thanks in advance!
You cannot choose to install 32-bit version of DW on a 64-bit Windows machine or vice-versa.
For more info, check this link: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/whats-new.html#64-bit architecture
The 64-bit DW would be able to make the most out of the additional memory addressing space provided by your OS. It shouldn't impact the performance of your laptop.
