    Can I install windows 10 32-bit x86 on a 32-bit x64?


    My windows 10 is a 32-bit x64-based with 2GB of ram, x5-28350 processor, I want to reinstall windows 10 but the Media Creation Tool has only options for 32-bit x86 or 64-bit x64. Supposedly 64-bit version requires 4GB of ram or greater. Can I install 32-bit x86 on a x64-based processor?

    :)

    Can I install windows 10 32-bit x86 on a 32-bit x64?

    Windows 10 64 bits and 32 bits dual boot

    Hi, I upgraded windows 8.1 to windows 10 64 bit, because I didn´t know there was the 32 bit system option.

    I installed windows 10 64-bit (x64) normally. I tried it, and found it great, but due to the fact that I have software that only runs on a 32-bit (x86) architecture, I decided to use MediaCreationToolx64 to install the version of windows 10, that is both,
    32 and 64 bit at the same time.

    So, I used my pendrive to installed it, and the installation was done normally.

    After I enter my account, I checked the system status, and turns out that windows is still the same 64-bit (x64) architecture system.

    So, here´s my question:

    How can I install windows 10 32-bit (x86), over my current windows 10 64 bit system, and have a dual boot?, or if possible, how can I uninstall windows 10 64 bit, to install windows 10 32 bit?, all of this KEEPING ALL MY FILES AND APPS.

    I thank you all in advance for your help!
