My thoughts on this are mainly directed buy the amount of ram on your system. If you have 4 gb of ram or less go with x86. If you have more then 4gb of ram then you will want to go with x64. Yes x86 will at some point be fazed out. This will probably not happen soon how-ever. There are some advantages to x64 but your system will probably not be able to take advantage of them if it is an older system. Hth

It seems that the system must be upgraded to W 10 32 bit first, activated and then a clean install of W 10 64 bit can be undertaken if desired. I think, although not confirmed, the update from W 10 32 bit to W 10 64 bit is also free. So, my questions are: Is 64 bit the comeing standard and so sooner or later 32 bit will be phased out? i.e. Is it better to bite the bullet now rather than be tforced into a change in the future? Also, my system would probably benefit from a clean install regardless of the version of W 10. Or, is there no real advantage in going up to 64 bit at present? I know my system and printer will handle 64 bit and thankfully there is no difference in versions of WE. That is unlike the opposition of course. Your thoughts please. Thanks Neville. _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
