Plus, most programs used today are still only 32bit. Most web browsers, most media players, and most productivity software is 32bit; heck, even MS warns people away from using the 64bit version of MS Office. About the only programs that are 64bit and require 64bit that I am aware of that “normal” people might use are Adobe Photoshop and Premere, outside of that it is largely only for extremely specialized software If you are running only 4GB of RAM then a lot of that ram is going to be addressed by the system, but left empty.

You may gain a little bit of processing speed by going to 64bit, but if you use all 4GB of RAM which is not hard to do these days , then you are far more likely to run into vRAM which will significantly slow down your system.

Your system is very likely to run faster, smoother, and more consistantly than with a 64bit one True that, If your running a x32 system, with ONLY 4gb of memory, there is very little advanage of upgrading to x Make sure people look over their hardware, I have a old scanner works fine in x32, but, no x64 support, so I have to run a x32 VM on my x64 machine just to use my scanner You should add an advantage of x64 – fully functional Address Space Layout Randomization.

Many security flaws are based on known-location of code in memory, meaning a malicious piece of software can find it in RAM and take advantage of a vulnerability in whatever code is at that location.

ASLR mitigates this by randomizing where in memory a particular binary blob dll, etc is actually located. This means that a quick scan of memory could find the affected memory area and trigger an exploit package to work correctly even if ASLA is enabled. ASLR is basically useless on x86, but works well on x Could you tell me, is it under circumstances necessary to switch to another BIOS version?

Thanks, Adrian. Migrate, not upgrade. Huge difference. Posted from Windows Central for Windows So dvp 8 looks like it meets the requirements but people have said in the past it can’t handle 64 bit windows Any opinions? IN the real world. People will argue this to the hill but, unless you have MORE than 4gb of memory, there is very little advanage to going to 64bit. If you up your memory to 8gb you NEED x64 to see the memory.

You do notice this clearly on a little older systems, even if your CPU is x64 compatable. I have seen many cases of this over the years, with XP, 7 and 8. If your system is running good, and you have all the apps you need, with no problems, why change it? I recently upgraded to bit and don’t know what went wrong but the Games and videos were lagging like anything fps drops and also YouTube videos were lagging at p. This made me roll back to bit. Step 1: Ask yourself why, in , you had a 32 bit installation around to begin with.

Because, it had 32bit installation of windows 7, few years back. And with simple upgradation to windows 10, I got the 32bit version. Well, that’s the story of one of my laptops!

Bought a gaming rig about 4 years ago and there’s two choices about how the 32bit got on there. First it came with 32bit In hindsight, and knowing quite a bit more about computers now than did I then I just wonder why they would do that. Second is, had a problem and took it to the computer repair guy and he reinstalled it So maybe it had 64bit and he reinstalled 32bit on it instead Still, wtf..

Never even noticed it though. Performance wise, it did fine. Only realised that it needed to be updated when I bought a new game it asked for a 64bit system. That said a lot of computers and laptops come pre installed with 32bit For office computers or people typing it’s not like they need the extra ram or care about the technical side of it. Potato brain generic end users It’s a WindowsXP x64 Edition article in I upgraded my friends Lappy to Win 10 64 bit iso.

She had genuine Win 7 32 bit. So i jotted down her key and formatted and installed Win10 but now it doesnt accept the win 7 key, can someone explain whats wrong? I thought the november update accepts Win 7 genuine keys. I don’t think that works yet Just call Microsoft. I’m considering 64 bit win 10 on my Dell Inspiron 15 laptop as it has crippled 32 bit driver support I thought it was going to be actual upgrade from 32 bit to 64bit from within the 32bit OS.

Anyway, its all good. So what am I doing wrong? I have created the image on a removable usb drive, all that seems easy enough. But I can’t get the USB drive to boot. I have chnaged the boot order, but still it fails to load. When I try to run the setup file, it says something along the lines of not haveing the right version. I have a Dell Venue 11, that is 64bit architecture Any guidance woud be appreachated. Cheers Paul. Your system is probably uefi Uefi64 is required in order to work.

That’s the problem. I own the same Venue tablet. I am actually ahving a problem here. So is my pc compatible to 64 bit? If your version of Windows states Windows 10 bit, its running bit. The X in x64 refers to nothing. Just another thing Microsoft came up with. Like they called a stiffy drive a floppy in Windows. How to upgrade to bit? Install the bit twice. Does this method work on dreamspark windows 10 education edition?? Will this work on windows 10 education acquired from dreamspark??

That is the most complicated thing I’ve ever seen Just for your own product key. I don’t have the key with me anymore but would like to upgrade from 32 to Looks like it’s just not possible. Helps full of this post. Thanks you. When you download the program to do the update, be sure to use a blank Empty memory stick. I used one with lots of files and data on it and all of it was completly wiped out.

The program doen NOT ask you where to save the files, it gives you a choice of the hard drive maybe there you can pick a location or the USB port. No choice there! Now I’m runing a recovery program trying to get back an Excel file I have been using all year to track my bill payments.

Thankfully, I have a backup on another memory stick that is only a week old. I will only have to re-establish a weeks worth of the data I lost. Hello There, Can you share how to restore the lost data? Mine lost either. I have the windows 10 latest version which is 32bits. I was in contact with one of my friends he says that if you want to change the processor from 32 to 64 the process may lead to the deleting of all ur file.

You’ll be just re-installing the windows therefore as long as there aren’t any files in the C: Drive Assuming that your windows is installed in Local Drive C. And i dont have an activation key that works it says its not activated. Thanks for the walk through. Just moved my 8 year old Samsung laptop to 64bit without a hitch. It’s really running so much better now, although i did upgrade the ram to 8gb too. Very nice Article about windows Interview guide for Active directory,system administrators www.

Spam, please remove. Hello, I have question. In the progress I upgrade my Windows, I forgot to back up my Flashdisk. Now the data in my flashdisk is gone. Can anyone help how to restore my lost flashdisk data? Did you solve it somehow? If yes, could you help me in it please? Hi Everyone! I have a probably huge problem and I really need help.

I followed the instructions and I used a portable USB flash drive for the windows media creation tool which is a Seagate back up plus, and it has 1 TB storage place. My problem is that I have or had about GB data on this device, mostly really important pictures, movies, music etc. Where are my other almost GB and the most important, where are my data???!!?

What the heck just happened? Is my old data still on it somewhere?? Critics have noted that Windows 10 heavily emphasizes freemium services, and contains various advertising facilities. Some outlets have considered these to be a hidden “cost” of the free upgrade offer. Up to August , Windows 10 usage was increasing, with it then plateauing , [] while eventually in , it became more popular than Windows 7 [] [] though Windows 7 was still more used in some countries in Asia and Africa in As of March [update] , the operating system is running on over a billion devices, reaching the goal set by Microsoft two years after the initial deadline.

Twenty-four hours after it was released, Microsoft announced that over 14 million devices were running Windows According to StatCounter, Windows 10 overtook Windows 8. For one week in late November , Windows 10 overtook first rank from Windows 7 in the United States, before losing it again. In mid-January , Windows 10 had a slightly higher global market share than Windows 7, [] with it noticeably more popular on weekends, [] while popularity varies widely by region, e.

Windows 10 was then still behind in Africa [] and far ahead in some other regions e. Windows 10 Home is permanently set to download all updates automatically, including cumulative updates, security patches, and drivers, and users cannot individually select updates to install or not. Concerns were raised that because of these changes, users would be unable to skip the automatic installation of updates that are faulty or cause issues with certain system configurations—although build upgrades will also be subject to public beta testing via Windows Insider program.

An example of such a situation occurred prior to the general release of the operating system, when an Nvidia graphics card driver that was automatically pushed to Windows 10 users via Windows Update caused issues that prevented the use of certain functions, or prevented their system from booting at all.

Criticism was also directed towards Microsoft’s decision to no longer provide specific details on the contents of cumulative updates for Windows Some users reported that during the installation of the November upgrade, some applications particularly utility programs such as CPU-Z and Speccy were automatically uninstalled during the upgrade process, and some default programs were reset to Microsoft-specified defaults such as Photos app, and Microsoft Edge for PDF viewing , both without warning.

Further issues were discovered upon the launch of the Anniversary Update “Redstone” , including a bug that caused some devices to freeze but addressed by cumulative update KB, released on August 31, , [] [] and that fundamental changes to how Windows handles webcams had caused many to stop working. A Gartner analyst felt that Windows 10 Pro was becoming increasingly inappropriate for use in enterprise environments because of support policy changes by Microsoft, including consumer-oriented upgrade lifecycle length, and only offering extended support for individual builds to Enterprise and Education editions of Windows Critics have acknowledged that Microsoft’s update and testing practices had been affecting the overall quality of Windows In particular, it was pointed out that Microsoft’s internal testing departments had been prominently affected by a major round of layoffs undertaken by the company in Microsoft relies primarily on user testing and bug reports via the Windows Insider program which may not always be of sufficient quality to identify a bug , as well as correspondence with OEMs and other stakeholders.

In the wake of the known folder redirection data loss bug in the version , it was pointed out that bug reports describing the issue had been present on the Feedback Hub app for several months prior to the public release. Following the incident, Microsoft updated Feedback Hub so that users may specify the severity of a particular bug report.

When announcing the resumption of ‘s rollout, Microsoft stated that it planned to be more transparent in its handling of update quality in the future, through a series of blog posts that will detail its testing process and the planned development of a “dashboard” that will indicate the rollout progress of future updates. Microsoft was criticized for the tactics that it used to promote its free upgrade campaign for Windows 10, including adware -like behaviors, [] using deceptive user interfaces to coax users into installing the operating system, [] [] [] [] downloading installation files without user consent, [] [] and making it difficult for users to suppress the advertising and notifications if they did not wish to upgrade to In September , it was reported that Microsoft was triggering automatic downloads of Windows 10 installation files on all compatible Windows 7 or 8.

Microsoft officially confirmed the change, claiming it was “an industry practice that reduces the time for installation and ensures device readiness. Other critics argued that Microsoft should not have triggered any downloading of Windows 10 installation files without user consent.

In October , Windows 10 began to appear as an “Optional” update on the Windows Update interface, but pre-selected for installation on some systems. A Microsoft spokesperson said that this was a mistake, and that the download would no longer be pre-selected by default.

In March , some users also alleged that their Windows 7 and 8. It was concluded that these users may have unknowingly clicked the “Accept” prompt without full knowledge that this would begin the upgrade. On January 21, , Microsoft was sued in small claims court by a user whose computer had attempted to upgrade to Windows 10 without her consent shortly after the release of the operating system.

The upgrade failed, and her computer was left in a broken state thereafter, which disrupted the ability to run her travel agency. However, in May , Microsoft dropped the appeal and chose to pay the damages. Shortly after the suit was reported on by the Seattle Times , Microsoft confirmed it was updating the GWX software once again to add more explicit options for opting out of a free Windows 10 upgrade; [] [] [] the final notification was a full-screen pop-up window notifying users of the impending end of the free upgrade offer, and contained “Remind me later”, “Do not notify me again” and “Notify me three more times” as options.

In March , Microsoft announced that it would display notifications informing users on Windows 7 devices of the upcoming end of extended support for the platform, and direct users to a website urging them to upgrade to Windows 10 or purchase new hardware.

This dialog will be similar to the previous Windows 10 upgrade prompts, but will not explicitly mention Windows Privacy advocates and other critics have expressed concern regarding Windows 10’s privacy policies and its collection and use of customer data. Users can opt out from most of this data collection, [] [] but telemetry data for error reporting and usage is also sent to Microsoft, and this cannot be disabled on non-Enterprise editions of Windows Rock Paper Shotgun writer Alec Meer argued that Microsoft’s intent for this data collection lacked transparency, stating that “there is no world in which 45 pages of policy documents and opt-out settings split across 13 different settings screens and an external website constitutes ‘real transparency’.

The Russian government had passed a federal law requiring all online services to store the data of Russian users on servers within the country by September or be blocked. But Microsoft is held to a different standard than other companies”. The Microsoft Services agreement reads that the company’s online services may automatically “download software updates or configuration changes, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorized hardware peripheral devices.

In September , Microsoft hid the option to create a local account during a fresh installation if a PC is connected to the internet. This move was criticized by users who did not want to use an online Microsoft account. In late-July , Windows Defender began to classify modifications of the hosts file that block Microsoft telemetry servers as being a severe security risk.
