Welcome
The answer is about half way down the page
32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions

Pay particular attention to the line at the end of the answer about the compatibility center.

Hope this helps.

Not, there are no emulaters to run x64 programs on x86 OS.

There aren't many 64bit only programs, so theres never been a need, but i think its more of a can't then laziness.
