# Installer Options

There are four different ways to install SyncBackPro:

- The standard installer that requires a **Windows administrator** to install and installs for **All Users**, e.g. SyncBackPro64_Setup.exe

- There is also an installer that can be used by **standard Windows users** that installs for the current user only and does not require you to be an administrator, e.g. SyncBackPro64_Setup_NE.exe

- A "No Install" Zip file that you can unzip to any folder you wish, e.g. on a USB key, that can be used by a **standard Windows user**, e.g. SyncBackPro64_Setup_NI.zip

- If you prefer to use the **Windows Package Manager**, SyncBackPro can be installed using **winget** or other package managers, e.g. **UniGetUI**. Note that for SyncBackPro and SyncBackSE only the 64-bit version that installs for **All Users** is available. For SyncBackFree it is only 32-bit and installs for **All Users**. To install SyncBackPro, for example, go to the command line and enter **winget install** **syncbackpro**

There are a number of parameters that can be passed to the installer, e.g. to silently install. See the [Installing](Installing.md) section for details.

If you choose to install only for the current user then it is important to note that SyncBack will [not run elevated](MiscellaneousElevate.md). This means some functionality cannot be used. Also, the [Scheduler Monitor Service](SchedulerMonitorService.md) will not be installed (services can only be installed by Windows administrators).

## 32-bit and 64-bit

64-bit versions of SyncBackPro and SyncBackSE were introduced in SyncBackPro/SE V8.

You should not have 32-bit and 64-bit versions installed at the same time. To switch from one version to another (e.g. 32-bit to 64-bit) you should export your profiles, uninstall the old version, install the new version and then import your profiles.

Be aware that there are [differences between the 32-bit and 64-bit versions](32bit64bit.md) due to how Windows itself acts differently.
