i bought windows 8.1 64 bit for my laptop 4 months ago..

since my laptop got upgraded to crapdows 10, i decided that i would install windows 8.1 on my upgraded emachines

BUT I CANT

my emachines has only 2 gigs of RAM, i can only install a 32 bit version of windows 8.1 on that

You can't go to 8 from upgraded W10. Actually, you can if your PC was originally W7/W8, but you can only do it once through formatting.

My bad, I meant you lose your option to go back to W8/W7 if you do a full format. I think...

Well, the specs check out. What's being displayed or caused you to believe that you can't install W8?

ive heard people say that you shouldnt try running 3D intensive games on a 64 bit OS if you have less than 2 GB RAM

As someone who has used both windows 8 and 10, why would you want W8 only for the start screen?
