Based on the following information Microsoft presents at Windows 10 Specifications & Systems Requirements...

 

Processor: 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
RAM: 1 gigabyte (GB) for 32-bit or 2 GB for 64-bit
Hard disk space: 16 GB for 32-bit OS 20 GB for 64-bit OS
Graphics card: DirectX 9 or later with WDDM 1.0 driver
Display: 800x600

 

2GB of RAM is sufficient for the use of Windows 10 64-bit.

 

Unless you have a specific need to use a 32-bit OS, there isn't any real reason to change the OS.

 

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Hi,

 

This is the first time after nearly 70 years of my life and around 40 years of my work in IT: there is a person wanted to downgrade from 64 bit to 32 bit Operating system. What is the reason behind this ?

 

Regards.

BH

Because 2GB RAM and 32 GB ROM (HDD), windows 64bit used more space from HDD, but please you tell me from your experiment what the benefit if I use 64bit on 2GB RAM and 32GB ROM.

 

Thnak you .

I contacted with Microsoft support (Chat) and the person who chat with me told me to install x32 after I ask him what version should I install on 2GB RAM.
