Windows Central Question

Trying to install windows 10 32 bit onto an HP Mini running an Atom 32 bit processor.
Created a win 10 32 bit bootable DVD which begins to load at which point it throws an error stating it is trying to run a 64 bit application on a 32 bit system.

The file is winload.exe and the error code is 0xc000035a.

I've tried it via USB and DVD now definitely with the x86 version of win 10 (unless it somehow creates an x86/64 bit hybrid) and still throws the same error.

Ram is 2 GB, HDD is 500 GB (upgraded from 160GB) and processor is 1.6 Ghz atom - shouldn't be a problem.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

OP is having clean installation issues, not updating issues. There is only the install media, so nothing to Update or SFC. I don't know about the main issue though, perhaps OP can look for an alternative ISO source?

I know but I thought the OP was using ISO because the upgrade didn't work initially. It's a logical step in most cases, right? Upgrade fails, go for ISO
