    How to install Windows 7-32bit!


    Dear all!

    Before I used Windows XP, but now I clean install by installing Windows 7. I prefer Windows 7 32-bit. When installing the Windows 7, I got only Windows 7 64-bit and 86-bit options. It means I can't install windows 7 32-bit to my current computer. What must I do to get "Windows 7 32-bit" to work? Or it's because of my computer status that can't support Windows 7 32-bit. My computer is Dell Optiplex 380 (CPU Core to duo 2.6, Ram 2GB, and Hard Disk 640GB). Please help to tell me how to figure it out.

    Thanks a lot and best wishes!

    I am looking forward to hearing from all as soon as possible.

    My best regards,


    LUCK

    It means that my computer will be installed with 32-bit if I choose 86-bit and then install. Is it right? Sorry for being unaware of my knowledge here. Thanks and I am looking forward from you more.

    Luck,

    Just relax. Processors which were based upon the old 8086, such as, the Pentium and so forth had a 32-bit wide data path. The newer processors can work with a 64-bit wide data path.

    Consequently 32-bit is referred to as x86 and 64 bit as x64.

    Strange but true.
