Yes there should be no problem as long as the product key is legitimate, which in this case is hard coded into the box, then you can clean install 32bit. You can't downgrade without wiping the 64 bit version installed though.

Might be worth making sure that if the box came pre-installed with 64 bit that there are 32 bit drivers available.

You might find that the Windows setup will detect all the hardware and install drivers automatically but it's not a guarantee.

Worth creating an image of the box so that you can easily return to it if desired.

I recently bought a Wintel Cx-w8 and accidentally changed the boot start to Android in the BIOS menu.

Now all I get is a black screen and I cant get to enter BIOS again, keyboard works, pressing Ctrl Alt Del reboots the device.

Any help?

Hi,

you can try this (worked for me when the system didn't want to boot anymore) :

open the case, unplug the bios battery. it should reset the bios settings.

I've unplugged the bios battery but nothing changed.

I've unplugged the bios battery but nothing changed.

Leave it unplugged for a little while as there may be some residual charge remaining.

Thanks! It restored the BIOS settings.
But now Windows is stuck in Startup Repair, I try "Reset this PC" option but it fails.

[bluesmanuk]

Does it fail with any specific error?

BTW this thread may be of use if you have to manually restore.

Hello. I am new to the forum. I do not know English so sorry for mistakes. I have a problem. I bought Wintela pro and I can not install Windows 32bit. Probably bios (UEFI) blocks. On the motherboard is a SATA1 socket, Think you can connect HDD?
And here are pics from inside.

I believe you need 64bit windows.

I have a Sunchip Wintel CX-W8 PRO (x5-Z8300) Running win 10 64 bit --it works fine when I use it for playback of video channels however if the channel is full hd (1920 1080) the picture is distorted and unwatchable--is this a problem of the video driver-no hd support or as I only have 2giga ram the box is just not capable! --Any new driver would be great
Many thanx
