Windows 10: windows 10 32 bit(x86)

why does windows 10 32 bit(x86) clean install as mbr when i pre-format the hard drive as gpt?

is there a solution or is that the default and only option for installation? i've contacted asus

who makes my motherboard to check for uefi details and everything i can think of to ask them!

their reply is that the memory is the cause---i have 8 gb and not 4gb! their other reply is that microsoft

has a patch or solution for the problem which i did not see or find on microsoft's site! i've tried everything

that i can think of including changing all settings in the asus bios and trying every way to change the

hard drive to gpt and hoping it stays gpt after windows 10 32 bit(x86) is installed! but, every time i install it

the windows 10 changes it during the install! are there any links or answers that will truly solve this mystery?

thanx ahead of time to any persons that answer this question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why program files are listed as 32-bit (x86) while operating system is 64-bit in Windows 10

Original Title: 64bit or 32bit?

Hello. I'm a bit confused as to why my program files are listed as 32-bit (x86) while my system is 64-bit. It's listed as 64-bit under system settings however the x86 would lead me to believe otherwise. Any ideas? I
am running Windows 10.
