    32Bit Bootloader with 64Bit Windows 10 Possible?


    Hi. I have an old asus x205ta laptop that had windows 8 on it. When the forced upgrade hit, it bricked my laptop so i've been running linux on it. The bootloader is 32bit but the processor is 64 bit. I was able to configure my linux installation in order to make it work.

    Currently, I've flashed Win10 32 bit. However, some apps don't work on it. Is there a way to do the configuration as I require and install windows 10 64 bit on asus x205ta?

    32bit or 64bit

    Windows 10 64bit you can load 32bit and 64bit applications

    Windows 10 32bit cannot run 64bit software, therefore you cannot run apps like QuarkXpress that only come in 64bit versions

    64bit Windows can address in theory 16.8 million terabytes

    32bit Windows can only address 4GB of which 3.12GB may only be usable depending on the version of Windows you are running

    In theory 64bit is much faster than 32bit as a 64bit data word (64 1's and 0's) is processed at each cycle of your processor instead of a 32bit data word. I say in theory as there is

    A lot of modern software is now optimised to run on a 64bit processor, therefore will run faster, it took a long time for software manufacturers to re-configure their software to take advantage of 64bit

    Basically, if you have the option of running either 63bit or 32bit, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain by choosing the 64bit version . . .

    32Bit Bootloader with 64Bit Windows 10 Possible?

    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?
