  1. downgrading from 64 bit to 32bit


    I've got a laptop for some reason came with 2Gig memory and preinstalled 64bit Window10.Its obviously very slow, So I want to downgrade to 32bit.Is there an easy downgrade path, or do I have to do a new install so and thereby lose my licence.

    vista home 32bit or 64 bit?

    I'd go for the 32bit. Driver support for 64 bit is not so good

  4. downgrading from 64 bit to 32bit

    why can't 32bit applications use internet on 64 bit windows 10?

    Hello Kushagra,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    Under Windows 64-bit, 32-bit applications run on top of an emulation of a 32-bit operating system that is called Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit, or WOW64 for short. WOW64 intercepts all operating system calls made by a 32-bit application.

    For each operating system call made, WOW64 generates native 64-bit system calls, converting 32-bit data structures into 64-bit aligned structures. The appropriate native 64-bit system call is passed to the operating system kernel, and any output data from the
    64-bit system call is converted into a format appropriate for the calling application before being passed back.

    Like 32-bit applications, WOW64 runs in user mode so any errors that occur in translating an operating system call will only occur at that level. The 64-bit operating system kernel cannot be affected.

    Since WOW64 runs in user mode, all 32-bit application code must also run in user mode. This explains why 32-bit kernel mode device drivers and applications that rely on them, will not work under Windows 64-bit.

    So only some of them might work or they may not working depending upon the compatibility. Most commonly Windows 10 will give errors while running 32bit apps on 64bit Operating systems.

    I suggest you to run as Administrator and check if it loads in compatibility mode.

    Keep us posted to help you better.
