Is it ratman if you want to reinstall the operating system on the notebook, but which only has a maximum of 2GB RAM for Windows 7 to take the 64bit instead of the 32bit? What is the difference between the two bit visions?

Do you want to switch from 64bit to 32bit or vice versa?

This is the maximum size of a number that the PC can process (in bits).

If you want to go from 32bit to 64bit, you first have to see if the processor can handle 64bit at all (but those who can't do that have long since died out).

No! 32-bit software is dwindling and it can't address more than 3 GB of RAM. If you want to effectively slow down your laptop, you can do that.

I want to switch from 64bit to 32bit.

I already understood that. However, 32-bit is significantly less effective than 64-bit. Why do you want that at all? It hardly gets any faster.

I have the feeling that the 64bit version has slowed it down

Generally if you want to continue using Windows, I would check if you can't upgrade the notebook to 4GB Ram and then continue to use the 64 bit version (from Windows 10).

Only if there's no possibility to upgrade to 4GB and if you want to continue using Windows (Windows 10), then you should take the 32bit version. The background is that this version requires a little less RAM.

But there's already current software that requires 64bit.

You can try it out and compare it. DON'T FORGET BACKUP!

Exactly the same and not different.
