Many 64 bit Atoms didn't have enough RAM to run Win10-64 well (a range of these simply don't have external pins so makers had to purchase more expensive CPU for more RAM). So they deliberately have 32 bit UEFI Bios with no "legacy mode" to prevent 64 bit Windows install. Most common with tablets. It can only be circumvented by a Linux install as that can be edited. There is no RAM penalty using 64 bit vs 32 bit Linux unlike Windows 10.

Windows 11 & 12 are 64 bit only and the 32 bit Win10 stopped getting Win 10 upgrades.
