No penalty on 64 bit Linux Mint with Mate, even if only 1G RAM vs 32 bit. Some applications on Linux are no longer supported as 32 bit. Apple MacOS is now 64 bit only and Win10 64 bit often is poorer at running old 32 bit windows programs than WINE on Linux. Win10's compatibility system is to install a VM with the older Windows, which of course works for almost any Host OS.

Unless it's mainly for Vista, XP and win9x games, consider an OS change.
Sorry I'm tech handicapped mostly. I don't know about installing a service pack. I was hoping it was something in my level like turning off my firewall and virus protection. That is my level. Much more and I'm going to have to find a kid who understands much more than me.....
