Hello everyone, 

 

I have a Pro All in One 3520 Desktop PC with Windows 7 64 bit pre-installed, for some reasons I'm thinking to downgrade the O.S. to 32 bit version.

 

Is it supported? Is it necessary a new Windows license (32 bit version) for reinstall the O.S.?

 

Thank you for you in advance for your support.

 

 

Stefano

To answer your questions

1) Is it supported? - from this page it appears that 32 bit is not

2) Is it necessary a new Windows license (32 bit version) for reinstall the O.S.? - no, the license key will work with either version.

 

I really am curious why this is coming up.  A working Windows OS, preinstalled, is going to function.  What is proposed may not work, so why mess with it?

@humble1948  You should read through this guide on troubleshooting "No Power"

http://h20565.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?sp4ts.oid=5299218&docLocale=en_US&docId=emr_na-c05...

Verify there is power at the output of the power adater by using a voltmeter, too.
