x86 vs x64 OS Performance?
Hi, I have a lightweight laptop with an Intel Celeron N2840 (2.16 - 2.58 GHz Dual Core), 2 GB 1333 MHz DDR3L SDRAM, and 32 GB eMMC SSD. The processor itself supports x64 and it came preinstalled with win 8.1 x64. However, since it only has 2GB ram, would I get better performance with Win 8.1/10 32-bit?

No, only if the ram is greater than 4GB it will benefit from 64 bit.

So you're saying I should reinstall my OS as x86?

There will be no performance difference.
