ODBC 32/64 question

$

For a 64Bit installation of Windows using a 32-Bit installation of Microsoft Office, which ODBC setup would you use to connect to data sources?
1. Data source (ODBC)
2. C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
3. C:\Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
4. C:\\Windows\Sys\odbcad32.exe

This one caught me out, I was aware in the past that the 32bit program lived in the SysWOW64 folder but nowadays both seem to work (see screenshot below) and I just lazily type ODBC in the Cortana search window when I want to set a new connection up and the 32bit one just opens by default.

The linked answer article is from 2012 so I wondered is this no longer true with W10 x64? I don't know, but another failed question for me.
