As I understand it it should be FAT32 and if your PC supports it go for x64.

Sorry @shutter the answer is No as it's name implies you'd need a 64 bit machine to do that.

@shutter - If you've got a 64 bit machine then get the x64 install. Why would want to use 32bit if the architecture is 64?

The Live usb stick will be used on BOTH as per my original post... so I am thinking that a 64 bit version on the stick will not run/install on a 32 bit machine ? ? ?

It would be a very old machine that is not capable of running 64-bit software, even if it ran a 32-bit version of Windows.
