Hi everyone, am new here, first post too.
Wondering if installing a 32 bit OS on a 64 bit laptop with only 4GB ram
will help it run smoother.
I have two identical Raspberry Pi 4 *8GB boards using official power supplies
and even in identical Flirc cases, the only difference is one is running the official
32bit OS the other the official 64bit OS, and the 32 bit version seems to run faster
and more responsive.
I can not get another Pi 4 *8GB board on this side of the world, so I bought an 11 1/2
inch laptop to use instead, its a bug out / emergency device, can run off 12 Volt battery,
so any can basically can power it.
Please comment on whether going the 32 bit route will be less resource hungry,
and hopefully provide a better experience than a 64 bit OS.
I am also keen to know whether I can remove the wifi module, it sits in a sata M.2 slot,
and install and boot from a suitable SSD, I have lots of external USB WiFi Modules
and would really like to get a larger SSD into this little laptop.
Thanks for looking, looking forward to your comments
