    Ok, but for future reference 32bit runs on 32bit processors and 64bit processors, but 32bit runs only on 32 bit processors.
    The other difference is the amount of RAM 32 bit can address 4 gigabytes of RAM, 64bit, let's just say 128 gigabytes* of RAM.

    *Hardware and Windows versions depending.

    Are you saying that you can't run 32 bit Windows on a 64 bit processor? Because you can.

    Most likely failed on an over the top, Repair-type install. Changing bitness requires a fresh install.

    x86/32-bit software and OS is smaller than the x64/64-bit equivalent by ~20%.

    Are you talking about this? https://www.ebay.com/p/1884506584
    A cloudbook with 2GB of RAM and a 32GB hard drive?

    It is criminal to sell anything with only 32GB of storage and call it Windows 10 capable. (My android phone has more storage.)
    The only way to update it, is to do a clean install every 6 months when a new version of Windows 10 is released.

    This is from the 'about' section on the ebayy page. Notice it says
    • RAM Size
      32 GB

    and then separately says

    Hard Drive Capacity
    32 GB


    A little confusing/ misleading!?

    Let's just call the eBay listing wrong.
    Acer is as bad as MS in using the same name for different things. Acer has so many different variations called Aspire One that at first, I thought he was referring to the Aspire One model 722 he mentioned in another thread here.
