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)

Windows 10 64 bit to 32 bit

Hi Ajay,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. Appreciate your interest in using Windows 10.

I would like to inform that 64 bit Operating system can run 32 bit programs but, 32 bit Operating system cannot run 64 bit programs. So I suggest you to stay on the 64 bit Operating system which can run both 32 bit and 64 bit programs. If you want to install
a32 bit Operating system, you need to create an ISO media using the Media Creation Tool and install from the installation media.

Refer the link below for more information:
