Your system is a 32-bit Windows system. You have installed a 64-bit version of a driver file. What will happen?

1 answer

If you install a 64-bit version of a driver on a 32-bit Windows system, the installation will fail. This is because 32-bit operating systems cannot run 64-bit binaries due to architectural differences. The driver installation process typically checks the system architecture before proceeding, and since the 64-bit driver is incompatible with the 32-bit system, you will likely receive an error message indicating that the driver cannot be installed or that the version is not compatible.

In summary, trying to install a 64-bit driver on a 32-bit Windows system will not work, and the installation will not succeed.
