My laptop is 64 bit. But I have java 7 update 11(32 bit) for certain essential softwares. Now, i need java 8 (64 bit) and eclipse mars (64 bit) to work. I am unable to change version from java 7(x86) to java 8(64). I do not want to remove 32 bit java and also work with java 8, 64 bit. I have included the path system variable contents. I am a beginner. will appreciate if you do not write GLIB and derisive comments.
I am not looking for any batch scripts answers. Can it be done using GUI?
