Product: HP Z230 tower workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

We are currently upgrading all our PC to Win10 since Microsoft will no longer support Win7 in January 2020. Some of our production stations still use 32bits to function and cannot function under 64bits. Some will be upgraded to the latest version of the software but others cannot. In this case, we wanted to upgrade to Win10 32bits on an HP Z230 tower workstation and the "HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads" page doesn't give access to any Win10 32bits drivers for my workstation although Microsoft still distributes the 32bits version and my workstation is presently configured under Win7 32bits...

One last thing: Upgrading our production software is going to be very, very labor intensive since we need to reprogram it. It was programmed using VisualBasic 6 back in the day...

Thank you for any help!

Hi:

 

W10 is going to install most of the hardware automatically.

 

I believe that all of the W10 64 bit driver files contain the 32 bit drivers too, except the audio and graphics drivers.

 

You can get the Windows 32 bit Realtek audio driver from the link below.  Accept the agreement.

 

Download and install the Windows 32 bit driver and restart the PC.

You can get the applicable graphics driver from Intel, AMD or Nvidia, as applicable.
