If i downloaded let's say Linux Fedora or Ubuntu where do i install it so i don't overwrite my Host PC OS?
You install it to a virtual hard disk. The virtual hard disk is just a file on the host operating system.

A downloaded Linux typically comes as an ISO image of a CD. All you do is mount that ISO image in your VM (go the VM settings, CD/DVD-ROM section), then run the VM. The Linux installer should start.
Stick with 32bit Linux VMs for now. It sounds like getting a 64bit machine working on your host would have problems which you can wrestle with some other time.
