Computer Problem??

closed account (LE3bqMoL)
I am trying to run a C++ program using my note pad and saving it as .exe this is what it says:

"The version of this file is not compatible withthe version of windows you're running. Check you computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64 (64-bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher"

Can anyone help?
text files are not executable files. Changing the extension does not compile the program.

You need to use a compiler. Compilers convert (ie: "compile") the human-readable source code into computer-readable binary data.

This step is impossible to skip for compiled languages like C++.
