Shareable Drive - This app can't run on your PC

Using RM 9.05 on a Windows 10 PC, I created both a Shareable Drive and a RM To-Go on another USB drive; each of these procedures successfully creates a USB drive. When I try to use either USB on a Windows 10 laptop (separate PC) I get the message: “This app can’t run on your PC. To find a version for your PC, check with your software publisher.” I also tried to do this by using the “Run as Administrator” option. Any other ideas?

Are you running Windows 10 S Mode on the laptop? If so you need to turn that off or the only apps you will be able to run are from the Windows Store.

Nope, not in S mode, Windows 10 Home, build 22H2.

Next thing to check is which version of Windows is on each machine. Did you install the 32-bit or 64-bit RM? Is the laptop the opposite of the other computer?

There it is! Desktop PC has 64-bit OS and (I assume) 64-bit RM, the laptop PC has 32-bit OS. I tried the Shareable Drive USB on another laptop (another 64-bit Win 10) after this, and it worked there; so the 64 v 32 OS is the problem. Thank you for the speedy help!
