Good day all.
I'm hoping to get some insight/assistance with my dilemna.
I have an i3 5th gen notebook, a HP. It has 4GB memory and I installed a 120GB SSD.
I needed Windows 10 32bit OS installed so I created the install and proceeded to install the OS on the notebook. A clean install as the system had Windows 8/8.1 installed.
Initially I struggled as I kept getting the no OS drive error. After some research I found that I needed to enable "legacy" in the BIOS. I then could install the OS and when done the notebook worked as should. Well it booted into the OS with no problems. So I proceeded to update the system. Now, like 2 minutes into the update I got a bluescreen and then I would not be able to login into the system again because on every boot when the OS is loading it would give the blue screen every time.
So my question is, can one not run a 32 bit OS on the notebook? In the BIOS it shows factory install being WIndows 8 (if this info makes any difference).
Before one of you ask though, the system is needed to run an old program. We have tried the "run in compatibility" mode but has issues pop up. We've tried a virtual system but also pick up some issues. So we are trying to get a system with a 32bit OS installed to be able to have the needed program run as it should.
Your knowledgable assistance will be greatly appreciated.
