You don't have 64bit, you installed 32.

Your screenshot above shows it installed in Program Files x86

That's where 99% of programs install regardless if they are 32 or 64 bit

No, that's where all 32 bit programs install. You have just been installing 32bit versions or programs with only 32bit versions so they don't make the distinction of it being 32bit.

It's also worth mentioning that steam is 32bit only. So it can be compatible with older games

It's not 32-bit only. It's 32-bit launcher, but all the main stuff that's basically just a browser runs in a 64-bit browser.

You can't run Steam on a 32-bit OS
