Windows 10: Windows 10 64bit reinstall on 32bit UEFI Only PC

Yes, I know that I cannot install 64 bit Windows on a 32 bit CPU. The PC has a 64 bit CPU but a 32 bit UEFI. This was a cheap PC-on-a-stick that was on sale for black friday for $70. I tested OSes on it but now I want to reinstall Windows. I have a Windows recovery disk, but when I try to install, it says that my disk is too small (Its 32GB). Can anyone help?

How to Upgrade from Windows 10 32-bit to Windows 10 64-bit

Hi I was running a 32bit windows 8 os and I wanted to change it to 64bit as my pc is compatible with 64bit and actually I need to install some apps and they work only on 64bit os. so, I've downloaded windows 10 32bit version os from Microsoft website as
I'm running a 32bit os and 64bit won't get installed if I do it so and tried to make my flash drive bootable with the 64bit and downloaded the os into the flash drive and restarted my pc and done a custom installation (a complete format) but even after doing
the way that I've to do my pc is still running the 32bit only.
so I thought that I should have done installing using the 64bit version file instead of 32bit and downloading the 64bit into the flash drive. so, I've downloaded and tried to install the 64bit version from Microsoft and it's giving the error
like "This app can't run on your PC" (and as I've guessed it already that 64bit won't work on my pc as I'm running a 32bit os). so, I've tried more than 5 times doing the os installation again and again, using the downloaded 64bit os from Microsoft using the flash
drive but there is no change from 32bit to 64bit all the time.
please help me solving this problem, and thank you in advance.

 

You can normally only install 32bit OS as the bootloader is 32bit.

You may need to create a 32bit usb installation stick to reinstall.

More significantly perhaps you may need some special drivers not in standard MS isos. What OS do you have at the moment, and how did you create the recovery disk?

 

Currently, the drive was formatted. I made a recovery drive before doing anything to the device. I made the vanilla install from my main PC. The recovery drive will not install because it claims the ssd is too small. The vanilla installer will only install in 32 bit mode.

 

Have you tried deleting all the partitions from the memory and then using the recovery drive on the unallocated space?

 

Hi there

What about switching off UEFI (boot in BIOS / Legacy mode) --If the CPU is 64 bit capable then it should be able to Boot. Change the boot disk though to MBR (i.e non GPT).

Cheers

It does not have legacy mode. :/ It makes everything harder. It is the Lenovo Stick 300, levovo's copy of the Intel compute Stick.
