    How to install a 32 bits software on my PC running Windows 10 64 bits

    Welcome to Ten Forums.

    64 bit Windows can run 64 bit and 32 bit software. There are no special steps needed, just install it.

    What cannot run on a 64 bit system is really old 16 bit software. For that you would need a 32 bit Windows, which can run 32 bit and 16 bit software.

    My computer is 32 bit when it's supposed to be 64 bit


    Apparently a 32 bit OS was installed.
    Most computers built in recent years are 32 bit capable but are running a 32 bit OS. An OS does not become 64 bit merely because it is running on a 64 bit capable computer.

    There is nothing here that appears unusual or that would indicate a problem. Many tablets have specifications that make a 32 bit OS a better choice than 64 bit. A computer with less than 4 GB RAM is probably better off with a 32 bit OS.

    when I try to run a specific 32 bit installer I get an unusual error

    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.
