[SOLVED] 64 bit to 32 bit on Pavilion Dv6

[Rosie's grandad]

Hello Tom's Hardware,

Can I run a Pavilion Dv6 laptop as a 32 bit machine?

I have to run a old piece of software which won't run at 64 bit.

Thank you folks.

Yes.

But that is a full wipe and reinstall.

What specific software are you referring to?

Unless the software is talking specifically to hardware and there are no 64-bit drivers for it, it should run on a 64-bit OS. If not, then there may be a dependency missing that the software doesn't come with for some reason.
