Windows 10: windows updated webcam driver incorrectly. installed 32bit but I have a 64bit laptop

my webcam is not working with windows 10.. i have tried everything that was suggested on this page. My laptop is a dell inspiron 15 3567 and is 64bit. the driver automatically installed by windows for the camera shows as 34bit I think this is causing problems as my laptop is 64 bit. where can i download the driver for 64bit?

Windows 10 32bit and 64bit

I have two similar problems. I have several Windows 7 64bit systems and I need to switch back to 32bit because of driver issues. I have no problems with 32bit Windows 10 but it appears it will not allow me to update a 64bit W7 installation to a 32bit W10
installation.

In addition before we found the driver problem we upgraded several computers to Windows 10 64bit.

In both of these cases how do we change/update the installation? If I create an .iso file for a DVD will that allow a clean install from 64bit to 32bit?

install webcam on msi laptop

Hi 1papertiger,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you. I understand your concern about installing webcam on MSI laptops.

Most laptops have a built-in webcam on it, If it's not working, there's a problem with the driver or settings of it.

Step1: I request you to check for Hidden Devices in Device Manager. Please refer to these steps:

a. On the desktop, press Windows key + X and select Device Manager.

b. Click on View and select Show Hidden Devices.

c. Check for the webcam under Imaging Devices.

d. If the webcam is listed, then right-click on it and select Update Driver Software.

e. Select Browse My Computer for Driver Software and follow the prompted steps.

Step 2: Run the hardware troubleshooter and check if you receive any error messages.

a. On the desktop, press Windows key + W and type Troubleshooting.

b. Click on it and click on Hardware and Sound.

c. Click on Hardware and Devices and follow the prompted steps.

If the laptop doesn't have a built-in webcam on it, you would need to purchase an external webcam, plug it on your laptop and driver will download automatically.

I hope my suggestions help you. If you need further assistance please do reply back and I will respond as quickly as possible. Have a nice day.

Thanks,

Installation of 32bit on 64bit OS

Hi. Would like to inquire if I will download a 32bit on my 64bit laptop will my files and data be erased? I am trying to connect a vinyl cutter machine with my current 64bit laptop but it notifies my that USB cable cannot be recognized. Upon checking the machine is compatible to 32bit OS. What would you suggest for me to be able to use my vinyl cutter machine without losing my files/data on my 64bit OS laptop? Is it possible to interchange the bit of OS upon using the machine only and vice versa? It would be of great help if I can operate my Vinyl Cutter Machine CS360 on my Huawei Matebook D15.

Thank you in advance for your response!
