Hi all,

My friend’s family runs a dental office and is in the process of switching their PCs.

Their software specifically requires a 32-bit OS to install and use.

So far they weren’t aware of this and purchased PCs that have 64bit Windows 10 pro pre-installed. I believe they are UEFI and I don’t think these pcs support CSM for legacy boot. I can leave a link to the pcs in the comments.

The problem was when I tried making a Windows 10 installation media USB with 32-bit windows 10 in it, BIOS couldn’t boot from the USB stick. It won’t show up in the boot order.

Long story short, is there a way to install 32bit windows 10 on these pcs or are we screwed?

    What software have you used for creating bootable usb?

    Rufus should have options for uefi boot with 32 bit windows.
