This computer sucks send it back now

The model number says STK1A32SC, which means no OS. The one that would have windows has a W in the model number, STK1AW32SC. There is a Ubuntu respin script that converts the ISO images into install packages for these sticks. The BIOS starts in 32-bit mode, though the CPU supports 64-bit mode. So, Windows installs at 32-bit, but you can install Ubuntu 64-bit if you use 32-bit grub. (search on Linuxium for howto.)

Intel Compute Stick BOXSTK1A32SC BLKSTK1A32SC, Black

Q: Is this 32 bit or 64 bit?

Boot loader on Atom sticks must be 32-bit, but the CPU is 64-bit. The STK1A32SC comes with no OS installed. There is a respin script to make Ubuntu ISO images for 64-bit with 32-bit grub. For the Windows version, STK1AW32SC, it comes pre-installed with Windows 10 32-bit. It's undefined if you could install Windows 64-bit on it. The device has only 2GB of RAM, and cannot be upgraded. At 2GB, there is not much benefit to 64-bit memory addressing. Even with compressed RAM, etc, it does not buy you much other than application support. Note that the version that comes with Windows pre-installed has recovery partition that gets in the way of performing OS updates. It's best if you can save the license and OS off to a USB stick, then remove the recovery partition, and expand the boot drive. Even with that, space will be tight. You should strip the OS as much as you can, and make sure to install everything you need onto a microSD card. Beware that the microSD slot is slower than internal storage, and cannot be used for windows update stating without OS surgery. Be sure to use DSIM and DRVCLEAN (part of windows) to keep the boot drive fairly clear. You may also want to update environment to SET TEMP=D:\TEMP, keep the swap space at a hard limit of 2G on the C:\ drive, and make sure hibernation is not enabled.

Q: Can I play Minecraft ?

I used the Compute Stick for the simple purpose of displaying web browser content on an external screen. While being used this way, the Compute Stick was prone to overheating and shutting down. I would not recommend it as a gaming device.
