Installing Origin games to Program Files

I am currently encountering all sorts of problems with Battlefield 4 at 720p. The game freezes and crashes regularly despite setting all the graphics options to low.

My specs: AMD A-8 3850 CPU, MSI GTX 660 ti, 8 GB RAM

Those specs should definitely be more than enough to run the game at low to medium without crashing.

I saw this: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1860960/poor-battlefield-performance-gtx660.html and while I've also seen that doing this shouldn't matter, I'd at least like to try it out for kicks, since other BF4 fixes aren't working for me.

Problem is, everytime I try to change the install directory on Origin, it tells me it can't install to program files, since some games are still 32-bit. Then it goes back to default install directory (Program files (x86)).

Any ideas on how to work around this?

EDIT: Here's what Origin is telling me. Seems kind of dumb that just because SOME games are 32-bit only, shouldn't not let you do what you want.

Leave origin, it's not origin fault, bf4 have a lot of problems, they are fixed but the crashing and freezing problem is still here, so you are not alone I too can't play the game because it's crashing, but I think today the 2 of dec. will be fixed, because there is a patch that will fix the game for good.

And bf4 by default installs at 64 program files so no worries.
