32 bit apps can still be used. See: 32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later - Apple Support. If you want to uninstall one, it is done the same as any other app. See: How to delete apps on your Mac - Apple Support. Install and uninstall apps from the Internet or disc on Mac - Apple Support.
In a recent blog post, my colleague Kayla Myrhow did an excellent job explaining the 32-bit application issue for users who are considering or have already moved to macOS® Catalina. In this post, I’ll show you how to set up your Mac® to continue to run 32-bit apps. You can do this either before or after you upgrade to macOS Catalina.
- Jul 24, 2019 It also began warning users that Mojave will be the last macOS update that will support 32-bit software. Essentially, what this means is that 32-bit software just won’t run in macOS Catalina. It won’t be slow, sluggish or result in a warning — 32-bit apps will simply not run or open whatsoever.
- Oct 11, 2019 If you need to run a 32-bit app, Apple unofficially recommends either that you keep an old Mac on hand that runs a pre-Catalina version of the OS or that you partition your current Mac so that it.
There are only two steps, but it does take about 45 minutes to complete this setup:
32 Bit Applications Catalina
- Create a Parallels Desktop® for Mac virtual machine and install an older Mac operating systemin it.
- Install the 32-bit apps you wantinto this new virtual machine.
I made a videoof this entire process—I edited out the boring parts but left all the essentialsteps. The end result is the 5-minute video below. For this video, I chosemacOS High Sierra as the older Mac OS, but you could install Mojave, Sierra oralmost any older Mac OS. I also chose the Office for Mac 2011 suite as the32-bit application, because several users have told me that it contains the setof 32-bit apps that they most want to run in Catalina.
After you finish this setup, you will be able to run 32-bit apps on your Mac running macOS Catalina.
