Product: HP ProBook 450 G7 Notebook
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Hello,
Can i install windows 10 Enterprise x86 on HP ProBook 450 G7 Notebook PC, Product number: 2D347EA#ABB [personal information removed] and how?

I started the installation of the laptop from a flash drive with Windows 10 x86, but after loading the initial screen of the Windows installation, the laptop died - the mouse did not work, and so did the keyboard.

Please tell me how to install 32 bit Windows on this laptop.

 

Thanks!

Hi:

 

Your notebook does not support 32 bit operating systems.

 

Microsoft intentionally left the USB 3.0/3.1 drivers out of the 32 bit installation file so that you can't install it.

 

You can install W10 Ent 64 bit.

 

Even if by some miracle you were able to install 32 bit, there would be no drivers for virtually any of the hardware.

 

32 bit operating systems have gone the way of the dinosaur.

Thank you very much for your reply!

I also assumed something like that, but I also wanted to hear it from a specialist.

Best regards,
Georgi
