x86 is the generic name for 80286 microprocessors family of Intel. It also refrs to the instruction set for this family.
x64 is actually x86-64, which is 64 bit version of x86. SO, your old 32 bit OS used x86 while your latest OS will be using x86-64. 64 bit OS can run softwares that require 32 bit or 64 bit while 32 bit OS can run only 32 bit supporting software. The folder x86 is created for those sofwares that are compatible only with 32 bit OS.
