However, I think there were later, technically 64-bit processors that did not include a few required 64-bit instructions (eg, "Compare and Swap"), so that Win-64 would not install on them. I think the original Intel & Lenovo "compute sticks" fell into that category, circa 2015? A trip down

The expense accounts were probably edited or posted to (eg, with an incorrect date) after you "closed" them.  The year-end closing process is quite simple and probably NOT at fault. Yes, you can go back and close them with an old date.  Just make sure to delete the old closing transactions
