Ok maybe a silly question

when I install programs on the C drive Windows installs them either in
the Programs Files (86) for the 32 bit and Programs Files for the 64 bit

BUT When I install programs on for instance the F drive must I do the
same, two folders or doesn't it matter, and use just one folder
regardless whether its 32 or 64bit

If the installer will let you choose a location, you may use any folder on
any drive you choose. Make sure you have rights to that folder.

Good luck.

There's some relevance to the location the apps go, but it's not super
critical. You're not under any special obligation to use those
directories.

It has no impact on the program where you install it.

Except for a select few programs, the location of the program once
installed is irrelevant. There are a handful that require installation
in the 'Program Files' or 'Program Files (x86)' folder, but those
usually do not give you a choice of which directory to install to. As
far as installing to another drive/partition goes, you can install the
vast majority in whatever folder you desire.
