Install Win 10 Pro 32 bit on 64 bit Notebook

Please bear with me, as I try to explain my situation. When Win 8 Pro was first released, I purchased it directly from Microsoft, and they sent me two CDs; one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit, with both having the same Product key. I installed the 32-bit
one on my desktop PC, which upgraded itself to Win 8.1. When Windows 10 Pro was released to market, I upgraded to that. So far, so good.

A few days ago I purchased an Asus Notebook with 64-bit architecture, and an OEM Win 10 Home version installed. I want to somehow change the notebook to Win 10 Pro, but don't want to spend the $200 to do so. And, logic tells me that I shouldn't try to
install the Win 10 Pro 32-bit onto the 64-bit notebook. Where I bought the notebook, I asked if I could install the Win 8 Pro 64-bit onto the notebook, and was told no, I could not install a Windows version that is earlier than the existing one on the notebook.
And, just for the record, if that had been a viable way to go, I was going to delete the Product key from the PC, so that it wouldn't be on two machines at once.

My worst case scenario would be to reformat the Asus, install the 64-bit Win 8 Pro, and then keep doing upgrades until I get to where I want to be.

What are my options here? The end result I want is for the Asus Notebook to run Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Installing windows 10 pro 64 bit on new PC

I realize that can only update win 8.1 pro 32 bit to

win 10 pro 32 bit , which I have done on old PC

But is there is a way to do a clean install to win 10 pro 64 bit on new PC?

If I had bought win 8.1 pro 64 bit instead would this be the case that

I could do a clean install to win 10 pro 64 bit on new PC?

Unfortunately I thought I had to buy a 32 bit win 8 pro as had 32 bit Vista

but did not know I had a 64 bit CPU so I should have bought win 8.1 pro 64 bit instead. Since my new PC has 16G RAM I have to get the 64 bit version

or only access 3.2G RAM max.

 

It really helps to know the complete registry area location or if you just want to know about folder, it should have deleted when you uninstalled Chrome. Personally I would keep Chrome installed, because it is way better than Edge or Internet Explorer. It is also a lot easier to secure to keep malware from trying to get through with Flash or Javascript. If it is just folders left over, just go in and delete them in explorer. HiJackThis can work, but you really need to back up your system, especially your registry in case something goes wrong.

 

The location in the registry is :-

HKEY_CURENT_USER
Software
Chromium

I have tried Edge, Mozilla, Chrome but I much prefer IE,

I have scanned my system or malware so there I none on my system.

Just remember that IE is going away with Edge taking its place. Firefox and Chrome are a lot more secure when it comes to being able to use tools to stop you from getting hit with payloads that can place Malware on your system.

 

I am sure that you are correct.

Can you please tell me how to remove the Chrome entry in the registry?

 

C:\users\walte\appdata\local\chromium\alpplication\chrome.exe—auto-launch-a


Its not a registry entry
Its in the nomally hidden folderappdata,
you can delete it from there NOT HKCU which is accessed by regedit

It will more than likely be recreated after you update Chrome

Roy

if you copy pasted it then i would go for malware it should read application not aLpplication

 

Hi WalterW,
Assuming you've already uninstalled Chrome and this is a left over registry entry. You can use Autoruns from MS to remove it. Just run the autoruns.exe (no installation required), click on the Logon Tab and look for the entry and uncheck it.

Just be careful with it *Smile
Autoruns for Windows

 

Thank you, I will try the Autoruns programme.

Walter

 

Have you tried Winkey+r | Regedit |? If you know what you are doing it might be plausible to edit the entry. (@~@)? Not sure, I am a hardware type of person. So someone else with more experience than me might be able to explore this idea with you

 

I looked on the MS site but I was unable to locate AUTORUNS.EXE, can you point me where I can download it.
