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.

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.

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.
