Product: Elitebook 8440p
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

I installed the windows 10 (32 Bits) operating system.

But I can't able to install any software on that OS.

I would like to know how I can solve that problem.

Hi,

You have 32-bit operating system so you can only install 32-bit software. Usuall most software comes in 32-bit and 64-bit editions, however some modern software only is created in 64-bit edition. 

A 64-bit Windows 10 will be able to install 32-bit and 64-bit software. So you can either only install 32-bit software or you could install windows 10 64-bit on your PC.

 

Hope it helps,

David
