ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 2, 2014 Report Share Posted June 2, 2014 You can't; changing the Windows bitness requires a new installation. For obvious reasons, actually: the Windows folder (and registry) have a completely different structure on x86 and x64. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted June 3, 2014 Report Share Posted June 3, 2014 Is there any reason why going from x64 to x86? That sure is a step backwards... Anyway, make a full backup of all your data, user profiles, etc., then format the thing and install the x86 edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
