How can 64-bit Mint 20.1 run on my old PC 32-bit system? [SOLVED]

I am surprised that 64-bit Mint 20.1 runs perfectly on my old PC 32-bit system. Can anyone offer any information/explanation? Thanks in advance.

Re: How to solve "Your APT configuration is corrupt"

Thanks for your suggestion. I have always used Bleachbit and never had any issues. Why would Linux offer Bleachbit if it creates problems? I use Bleachbit once a week which refreshes the OS and it runs faster.

Re: How to solve "Your APT configuration is corrupt"

I fixed it simply by doing a clean with Bleachbit.

Re: 20.1 not shutting down [SOLVED]

It seems to have worked! By exiting Chromium WITHOUT any running tabs the machine shuts down properly.

Re: 20.1 not shutting down

I'll keep trying various things. I did keep previous distros (2 partitions) which I mount specifically when looking for files in Home. Just had an idea: shutting down from a workspace without any tabs running? Could that make a difference? Perhaps just a silly thought...!

Re: 20.1 not shutting down

I have just read the following from Megatrend: BIOS updates will not make your computer faster, they generally won't add new features you need, and they may even cause additional problems.

Surely there is a way to shut down without having to do it manually? It's intermittent. Can anyone help, please?

Re: 20.1 not shutting down

The problem won't go away. It freezes on shutdown (see above image) and I have to shut down manually. It has never happened with Sylvia which was running beautifully without any issues. Can anybody suggest a cure? I would be most grateful.
