Transitioning from 32-bit to 64-bit in Windows 10
Transitioning from 32-bit to 64-bit in Windows 10
Is there a specific reason you want to move to 64 bit Windows? ASUS' Transformer Books aren't exactly speedy, and most x64 only apps aren't going to run well. As for booting to the USB drive, there's probably a setting in the BIOS. It might have USB boot disabled, or you might just need to change around the boot order or use a one time boot menu.
There are certain apps that only work on 64-bit systems. I’m not sure if this will affect performance, but it seems to run well now—probably because of an SSD or M.2 storage. Should I keep using 32-bit instead? Also, the BIOS has secure boot turned on, and I can’t disable it, so I can’t boot from a USB drive. When I try to boot from USB, the screen goes dark and then starts from my regular drive.
It looks like you're starting a sentence. Could you clarify what you'd like me to rewrite or expand?
Ensure nothing in your notes blocks the setup of Windows 10 X64. Likely the USB isn't connecting correctly, preventing a start. Launch Windows, insert the USB, download the Media Creation Tool from Microsoft, execute it. When prompted, select the desired version—X64 or Both—and confirm. Pick the USB from the options and click create. Wait for the process to complete, then restart from the USB drive.
It appears you're having trouble booting from a USB drive, even though it works on other devices. This could be due to compatibility issues or settings on your computer. Consider checking your USB port configuration, driver updates, or trying a different USB port. If the issue persists, there might be underlying system problems worth investigating.
The device dates back to 2014 and supports USB booting. At that time, USB booting was a common standard. The video referenced displays USB devices in the Boot List. Possible interference could come from UEFI versus Legacy Boot mode. If the USB was intended for single-mode operation, it might not appear in the list. Check BIOS settings for CSM or Compatibility Support Module; disable it or ensure Windows Boot Mode is enabled if needed.
I own a laptop that refuses to accept my fast USB stick, yet it works fine with an older USB 2.0 device. Odd, but seems to be happening.
