I've been tasked with finding out whether the Acer Aspire Switch Alpha can run Win 10 32 Bit

KBriff

Has anyone successfully used the Acer Aspire Switch Alphas with Windows 10 32 bit? We have been asked to change the OS for a customer, and I wanted to know its possible before getting started.

On the acer switch 10, it has a 64-bit processor, but uses 32-bit windows, so i know windows 32-bit can run with 63-bit, however it may be unstable, as it was not desinged for that hardware. also, some drivers are only available for 64-bit. in conclusion, you can install 32-bit windows on 64-bit computers, but be wary of unsupported drivers, and bugginess.

Hello,

 

For information, no driver is available for Windows 10 32-bit on the Acer website:

Switch Alpha 12: SA5-271

I swap from 32 to 64 bit often on many machines with no problem. My 532h is dual boot Win 10-32 and Win 7-64.
