Is it possible to install Mojave (32 Bit) and Monterey (64 Bit) on a 2013 Mac Pro?

[iKokomo]

I was wondering if it was possible to install both Mojave (32 Bit) and Monterey (64 Bit) on a 2013 Mac Pro?

I would like to run apps like Adobe CS6 (32 Bit) as well as newer software like Microsoft Office 360 and the like (64 Bit).

If it is possible, how would I go about doing this? I have been a Mac User for decades, so I have legal access the downloads of both OS's.

Adding to Ian's excellent reply, you can add to your knowledge of your Mac Pro and its capabilities by selecting your exact model from this list and then reading up on all its specs from here:

I don't agree with part of the the answer on MacRumours, the bolded part, ie:

Mojave wasn't released until 2018, so it will work on a 2013 mp.
You would need to install one OS on an external drive.

Mojave is still 64 bit, it just runs 32 bit apps also.

One doesn't have to install one OS on an external drive.
I would just partition the internal drive and install one macOS on each partition.

My thoughts exactly. As far as I know you can run both "Adobe CS6 (32 Bit) as well as newer software like Microsoft Office 360" on Mojave already which rums 32 and 64 bit apps natively.
If you want a later macOS like Monterey for other newer applications then I'd suggest you create a larger partition for Monterey and devote the Mojave partition to just Adobe CS6 and any other 32 Bit apps you want to keep running.
