Windows 10: 32 bit W10 OS

Short question, can a 32bit W10 OS be installed on a 64bit system ? If so, how?

:)

 

Install W10 32 bit after 64 bit installation?

I upgraded my computer from W8 32 bit to W10 64 bit to take advantage of my installed 6 GB RAM instead of being limited to 4 GB RAM under the old system.

Now that I have upgraded, I find that running my 32 bit Turbocad program I run out of RAM memory when I render a drawing. I have since found out that W10 64 bit limits 32 bit programs to 2 GB.

Would the installation of a dual boot 32/64 bit OS allow me to run the program and access more RAM?

If so, I upgraded to W10 64 bit by uploading the free installation program. How would I install a 32 bit OS?

 

Maximum usable RAM in 32 bit W10

I have a DELL Optiplex 7010 which was bought with W7 32 bit OS.

I used the MS free upgrade to W10 Pro 32 bit.

I have recently upgraded to 8GB of RAM, however although 8GB is detected apparently only 3.5 GB is usable.

I have updated bios etc to latest.

Having read around I have found articles which indicate W7 32 bit is limited to 4GB.

Does the same apply to W10 32 bit?

I'm wondering do I need to go down the upgrade to W10 64 bit ?

 

My CPU is 64 bit. OS is 32. Why?

Hello,

I have a desktop with a 64 bit CPU. But the O.S. (W10) is 32 bit?

How do I triple check this?

I was installing a utility. It is 64 bit. System responds with the OS is 32 bit.

Do I convert all W10 to 64 bit? Or what am I missing?

Thnx.
