You would need to reinstall the operating system from scratch.
You can, however, use the same license key from your 64bit version to install the 32bit version. You cant actually convert from one to the other as and when you choose without a reinstall.

Download the ISO linked to above.

You can then either burn it onto a disc using some standard burning software, or you can use the MS tool to put it onto a 4GB or above USB drive, and make it bootable:

Simply boot off of the CD or USB, whichever you chose, and reinstall in 32bit  :wink:

As my ETKA wont work on a x64 system..

I've not managed to install Win7 ultimate 32bit but now have a visual problem, everything looks too big!!



Is it just a settings thing?
