Upgrading Visual Studio Code from 32-bit to 64-bit on Windows machine
Introduction
Welcome to the ultimate guide on how to upgrade Visual Studio Code from its outdated 32-bit version to the 64-bit version. 🚀
Step 1: Pre-Upgrade Checklist
Before we launch into the upgrade adventure, let us make sure we are running the 32-bit version of VS Code and upgrade is necessary.
Note: As shown in the screenshot below, the Help > About section of VS Code does NOT seem to enlighten us with that piece of information.
Here is an indication that an upgrade is necessary: when you open VS Code a dialog box warning you that Visual Studio Code on Windows 32-bit will stop receiving updates.
The same message could also appear right below the VS Code menu bar
You could also open the Task Manager (right click on the task bar, or press CTRL+ALT+DEL, and select Task Manager) and look for Visual Studio Code
