There are three builds of MongoDB available for Windows - 64-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit Legacy. 64-bit build is the recommended version which can run on Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 7 64-bit, Windos 10 and newer versions of Windows. 32-bit build have a limitation of 2GB data. 64 bit legacy build is intended for Windows Vista or Windows server. I want to install MongoDB 64 bit on my windows 10 machine. Problem is, it is being installed as a 32-bit application and I'm unable to setuup it as a windows service.
