32bit Visual Studio generate 64bit executable

Question

I have a 64bit machine, if I installed 32bit visual studio, can I generate 64bit executable?

The actual problem is that I am moving my projection from Linux to Windows which uses C++11. On the Windows I only have access to the 32bit version of Visual Studio 2013. I am wondering if it will work.

The project uses massive memory and C++11 features not supported by Visual Studio 2012.

Answer 1

Visual Studio is a 32-bit application, there is no 64-bit version. It can compile 64-bit executables.
