Is it possible to install x86 driver in Windows 10 x64?


Recommended Posts

Hi, the integrated network card in my computer is probably broken...
I found an old 3COM on PCI, unfortunately it only has drivers for 32 bit systems. I am not able to install it through the device manager because the architecture does not match.
Is it possible to get around this somehow?
Thank you in advance for your answer :)

No it isn’t possible. You have to switch to 10 x86 to use it or get a USB wireless adapter.

This is what I will do. Although it's a slight shame, because this network card would be completely sufficient.

If you want to use the card, you can dual boot 10 x86 and x64 and use it on 10 x86.

I don't want to, it is more profitable to buy something newer :)

I don't really know if this is possible (ive never used a network card) but with as much talented people as there is here solution should be a easy to find solution for this :hello:                                                                                                                                                                               -legacyfan

It just turned out that... the second Ethernet port on the motherboard works, only for some reason its controller was disabled in the BIOS.

I have always been convinced that he does not work.
Problem solved :D
