    Installing Windows 10 Pro 32-bit on machine with 64-bit processor


    I have a machine with a 64-bit processor. Quite happy to reformat the machine and set up from scratch. I have 16-bit programs than I must run and therefore need to install Windows 10 Pro 32-bit. Is this possible? I can't find an answer to this question, and don't want to purchase the 32-bit operating system software if I'm unable to install it.

    :)

    Can 32 and 64 bit versions of Windows 10 support different processors

    I have a 32-bit Windows 7 and a 64-bit Windows 7, I upgraded our old XP on a 64-bit machine to 64-bit with a semi-clean install (files preserved in windows.old), but then when I tried to upgrade to Windows 10 it told me the processor was incompatible and
    I hadn't considered the RAM issues. So now I know that it needs 2 Gig Ram and I can get that but it says processor is not compatible.

    Can I install the 32-bit Windows 7 instead of the 64-bit and get a different result from the compabibility checker? Are there processors supported by the 32-bit Windows 10 that aren't supported by the 64-bit?

    I just don't want to do yet another install of windows 7 to find the processor is not supported in 32-bit mode either for a Windows 10 upgrade!

    Is there a list somewhere perhaps of 32-bit supported processors vs. 64-bit?

    Windows 10 32-bit OS to 64-bit with a 64-bit based processor

    How can I change my Windows 10 32-bit OS to 64-bit as I've a 64-bit based processor?

    I tried downloading the Windows 10 64-bit OS from the microsoft site like an ISO file and tried running it, but it says that this pc can't run that software where Windows 10 32-bit was already installed. Then, I tried installing it online but it didn't show
    me any option to select between 32-bit and 64-bit instead directly installed the windows 10 32-bit again. Now I'm really helpless how to change my OS to 64-bit as I've a x64-bit based processor. Somebody please help me..............,
