32bit vs 64bit with 2GB of ram
So, I know the min-specs (1GB&2GB) for 32bit and 64bit Windows 10.
What I'm wondering is: Am I better off installing the 32bit version of windows 10 if I have only 2GB of ram?
That way I'm above the min-spec of 1GB, whereas if I install the 64bit version I'm only JUST hitting the min-spec.
Or it might be better to ask WHY there's a 2GB min-spec for 64bit? Is it just because of the way the os operates, with memory addresses etc? Or is the 64bit version doing 'something else' with the extra GB of ram?
Or to sum it up:
On an old 64bit laptop with 2GB of ram, should I install the 32bit or 64bit version?
