computer shop changed my operating system from a 64 bit to a 32 bit, how can I change it back?

‎03-04-2012 02:56 AM

Hi, I took my HP DV5 1010TX to the computer shop to get a internal 1TB installed. When I got my computer home I noticed the guy has changed my operating system from a 64 bit to a 32 bit. I never asked him to do this. I was wondering how can I change it back to a 64 bit? I have Vista Ultimate installed. Thanks

Yes, no reason to buy a new copy. You will have to do a clean install of the
32Bit version, though. Depending on the version you have, you might have to
aquire a 32Bit disk.

Hi,

You can simply reinstall the 32bit system by the old 64bit. I guess that you should have an installation disk so put it in and reinstall it..
