Windows 10: Should I use Windows 32 or Windows 64 bit for my new gaming PC?

I am building a gaming computer for the first time, to play PUBG and a few other games and hopefully, it will be able to play new AAA titles for the next few years. I researched a lot into what components to buy and have decided to go for an AMD Ryzen build as it seems more affordable for my budget.


I used Reddit and got most of my PC component list from this website: https://www.wepc.com/builds/best-gaming-pc-under-1000/


One thing I am confused about though is what operating system to choose, I won't be purchasing a DVD drive so I am in the process of making a flash drive with Windows 10 installed, but do I need 32bit or 64bit Windows? Is there a difference between each?


Thanks for your help, much appreciated!

Windows 64-bit or 32-bit?

I am considering building a new computer and using the one I have now for a server. I was wondering if I should build the new computer on a 64-bit platform or a 32-bit platform. Anyone have any recommendations on the new system build. I am interested in the 64-bit platform so that the computer will last some time into the future. However, I have read many articles about driver issues even though the 64-bit os is suppose to be backwards compatable with 32 bit applications and hardware.

Or 64 bit system running Windows XP Pro 32 bit OS?

Also of concern is me being able to use my new 64-bit workstation with a 32-bit server? Is this going to work, is this a compatable situation.

Any and all help in this area will be greatly appreciated.

 

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)
