To do this, we will right click on the Windows icon in Start. Then, we will click on System. In the window that will open next, we will go to the System type section, where the Windows architecture will be displayed. Now, we can proceed with the download of the libraries by clicking on the following link.

Once inside the Microsoft website, we will download the version compatible with our PC: x86 for 32-bit architectures and x64 for 64-bit architectures . In both cases, the installation process is similar (Next, OK, Next…). After finishing, we will restart the computer so that the changes are applied correctly.
