    I need to downgrade my laptop that came with Win10 64bit to the 32bit version.I have downloaded the media creation tool and installed it the combined version.However, when I try and install the 32bit, it says that \windows\system32\winload.efi is missingThe 64bit installs perfectlyThe laptop is working with the 64bit, just very limited with low memory.Ideas?

    Windows 10 Pro 64 bit to 32 bit downgrade

    There must be a step-by-step process to follow in order to move an existing OS from Win10 pro 64 bit to 32 bit. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    How to upgrade from win10 32 bit to win10 64 bit for free

    I have win10 pro 32 bit. I had originally installed win8 32 bit as my system would not take 64. I switched to a new box with old hard drive and had not updated yet to 64bit when I got Win10. Silly me I thought I would be given the choice, never saw it and
    did not want to risk backing out.

    Downgrading from Win10 64bit to 32 bit

    64bit or 32??

    Are you wanting to Install Win7 instead of Win10? If so you'll need to do a clean install to change from 64-bit to 32-bit versions. Same for changing from 32-bit to 64-bit. Or are you wanting to dual-boot Win10 and Win7?
