Windows 10: Genius islim 300x and windows 10 32 bit

I recently upgraded my PC to Windows 10 Pro 32 bit Version 10.0.19041 Build 19041 from Windows 7 and tried my Genius iSlim 300X camera with it. I tried opening the Windows 10 Camera App and it tells me: "error code: 0xA00F4244 <NoCameraAreAttached>"


It doesn’t work and I can’t make video calls with it.

So I tried to download a new driver from http://global.geniusnet.com/supports/islim-300x unzipped, installed and tried it out. It still doesn’t work as before.

When I click the Webcam's button at the top, it lights up its LED and it gives a new window with the captured picture but I can’t make any video calls with it. It also doesn’t open the AmCap window like before in Windows 7 with a preview. AmCap is an application that comes with the webcam driver when you install it.

I tried manually opening AmCap and it tells me: "this graph cannot preview!"

I checked devmgr.msc for its driver details and saw that it is installed properly and there are no issues with it.

When I try to access the camera settings and accessibility in Settings not Control Panel, the Settings window just quits.

Please help. I used to be able to use it in Windows 7. I can make video calls with it in Windows 7 32 bit.

Windows 10 Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit

So, Windows 10 Upgrade is being rolled out worldwide, and I have 'reserved' my upgrade.

Currently my computer is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. I'm planning to 'upgrade' it to Windows 10 64-bit (via fresh install, of course).

After reading many references, these will be the steps I'll do:

1. Let the "Get Windows 10" app upgrade my OS to Windows 10 32-bit
   
2. Note the activation key
   
3. Download the Installation Media for Windows 10, but choosing 64-bit instead
   
4. Perform a clean install
   
5. Reactivate using the activation key in Step #2
   

(Of course I'll backup my data first.)

However, I still have some questions:

1. On Windows 7, the activation key does not differ between 32- or 64-bit versions. Is it still so with Windows 10?
   
2. Will I be able to download a different architecture on Step #3?
   
3. Is there anything I need to prepare beforehand?
   

Thank you for your assistance.

 

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)
