    32-bit Windows 10 in 64-bit PC


    My PC has 64-bit archtecture and runs 64-bit Windows 10 Home version 1903. I have an old but well working printer with only a 32-bit driver. I need to run 32-bit Windows 10 to be able to use the printer. I have downloaded 32-bit Windows.iso and "burned " it on a USB hard disk made bootable. I have changed the boot order in UEFI to start from USB HDD. Clearly the PC tries to boot from HDD, but does not succeed. Instead, it boots normally to 64-bit operating system. Why? What should I do to make the PC boot from the USB HDD in 32-bit mode?


    Thanks for help in this issue!

    :)

    Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit to 32-Bit?

    Hi,


    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.


    • What is the name of the game?
    If the system architect is 32 bit, then you can’t install 64 bit version of windows in it. I suggest you to run “winver” by pressing Windows + R, and check the version and bit.

    There are some games that you can install it in 32 bit as well.

    Windows 10 is the free upgrade for those users who has genuine key for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , normally it doesn't require activation, it's gets activated automatically, in case if you face an issue with activation the you can get back to
    us.



    For reference you can refer the link below and check if it helps (32 bit and 64 bit architect applies same to windows 10)

    Keep us posted on this issue so that we can assist you better.

    Thanks and Regards.
