I’m planing some vacation very soon, and was going to install Eve on my old laptop, which is 32 bit. During installation, I got message that 32-bit is no longer in use and only 64-bit exist. I found on couple of websites that it is still possible to run Eve on 32-bit (posts are a bit old), but with some 3rd party tools.
So I was wandering, is this possible, but before that, is this legal? Will I get banned/notified if I try running somehow a 32-bit version? Or is this not possible at all?
32-bit? Even 10 year old laptops have 64-bit support.
Might want to check again if it’s 64-bit.
I see many people installing 32-bit Linux on 64-bit hardware then go “oh I thought it was 32-bit” and then I check Intel Ark database and it’s actually 64-bit.
The CPU might have 64 bit, but the operation system might not have it. There have been a lot of Windows 7 with only 32 bit.
There are even Windows 10 with 32 bit.
While true the windows product keys for win 7,8 and 10 are valid for both 32 and 64 bit versions of the OS. If you have 32 bit windows on a 64 bit architecture an upgrade to 64 bit windows is simply a matter of reinstalling the OS from the appropriate source and using your preexisting product key.
