Windows 10: Windows10 x32 and x64 dual boot configuration

Now I'm using windows 10 for a long time, but there is always an issue of having a wrong architecture. Like having x32 bit OS architecture but also having a x64 bit CPU.


There are some tutorials for conversion but it involves formatting a drive. If you really need it but without formatting, here are the steps for a dual boot systemx32 bit OS first:


Step 1: Knowing the system requirements.


Every system needs to meet the optimal requirements.


1. Must have a x64 compatible CPU.

2. Must have 25gb partition or more free space.


Also have a 8gb usb stick.


Step 2: Install the iso

2. Accept the terms.

3. Select create installation media.

4. Select the language, and architectureuncheck the recommended settings as it will be like the current settings of your os.

5. Wait until it finishes, then proceed to the next step.


Step 3: Download Rufus.

dual boot windowss 10 x32 with windows 10 x64

I have upgraded from windows 7 x32 pro to windows 10 x32 pro. The windows 7 was a system builder OEM license.

I want to migrate to an x64 configuration, while keeping my x32 system so I can migrate over time rather than all at once.

I have an extra hard drive for the install in the machine, so it can have its own partition and drive. I have also purchase a new license key for the x64 version.

Are there any gotchas along the way I need to be aware of? Has anyone put a dual boot of win10 x32 and x64 on their system before?

My question is when i do this and install the x64 version. can I then activate the windows10 with the digital licence that is linked to my account ???

2)

I can choose in the media creation toll following editions : windows 10 , windows 10 home single language, windows 10 N.

What is the difference between those versions?

Best Regards.

 

Whats the benefit - x32 or x64?

more ram is the main reason for x64, but the x64 os does boot faster then x32.. also be aware that adobe creative suite will not work on x64 (photoshop, premiere, soundbooth, etc.)
