    Changing from 64 bit to 32 bit


    I have recently installed a security camera from Uniden and in order to install it remotely on my laptop
    I am being told I need to change my 64 bit OS to a 32 bit OS. I 'm not sure if this can be done and even it can, wondering if I should even consider doing this.

    You will need to re-install Windows to change from 64 Bit to 32 Bit.
    This tutorial by gregrocker has everything needed for a clean-reinstall:

    Take your time and read through it so you know what is involved.

    Hi Welcome to Seven Forums .. Providing you have the Product COA Key you could Install a 32 Bit Os ..

    The downside of that would be not all your Ram would be supported ...


    Does the Camera not have Drivers for your 64 Bit Os ?

    According to Uniden, it does not.

For some reason when I reloaded the OS I choose that option and it seems to be causing issues. Can I change it and go with just the normal one without reformatting? Thanks
