Q4OS Uninstaller for win Xp 32 bit does not exist

My 32bit laptop cannot uninstall Gemini 4.12. I installed first Win Xp Home Edition and then, I could install Q4OS from Xp as a dual boot, but now I cannot uninstall Q4OS Gemini and try Aquarius instead. Only a 64 bit win setup installer can be found into the Legacy downloadable win setup files from your web pages, which I tried to install without success from Xp OS.
How to uninstall Q4OS on a 32 bit laptop dual boot grub without erase WinXp? I cannot find a valid uninstaller for this purpose on your web page.
Any help is welcome.

Q4OS for Windows installer doesn't support 32bit and Windows XP at all. It's not possible to install/uninstall it on Windows XP and 32bit hardware.

Very old install, perhaps? Some undeclared workarounds, maybe...

FWIW, I'd try just running the same (old?) Windows installer, clearing the Q4OS install and exiting.

Set up an empty partition under XP beforehand. Start from boot CD and install Q4OS with manual partitioning

Re: Q4OS Uninstaller for win Xp 32 bit does not exist

I have become to install dual boot (WXp and Q4OS Gemini 4.12) and it worked really well since first Gemini version. I don’t remember if the installer for Windows I downloaded then was made for 32 or 64 bits, nor windows 7, but it worked to me anyway, I was very happy on my 32 bit laptop with it, but something went wrong two weeks ago, no network connection available, and no Palemoon navigator available for non SSE2 computers happened to me. Now Gemini 4.12 has not wired connection which my computer understand, so, I cannot keep on upgrading. I used the installer into Win Xp first and following Q4os from win Xp, but, I’m not able to uninstall it, maybe I used a 64 bit version which were compatible the installer with 32 bits without any advice. Anyway, I liked to test dual boot on my computer and it was successful.

I liked to test Aquarius on my computer, so I liked somebody ask the following questions:

Is there a way to uninstall Gemini without the windows installer? (Not erasing Win XP and preserve single boot)
Or,
Is there a way to upgrade from Gemini to Aquarius?
Or,
Is there a way to install a new version behind the actually dual boot I have?

Any suggestions are welcome.

Leave it as it is - there are problems with the newer versions

If you still have enough space on the hard disk for 5.3, then install with the selection in the partitioning: Install next to Windows

Q4OS for Windows installer doesn't support 32bit and Windows XP at all. It's not possible to install/uninstall it on Windows XP and 32bit hardware.

Since I like XP but it has very little supported browsers I decided to use my device manager to see what was installed on my 1997/98 vintage QDI Legend Brillian X originally intended for a PII and flashed to accept PIII and FSB clock speed of 133? enabling me to install  a total of 790 MB of PC133 RAM, an Nvidia FX5700LE 128MB AGP video card clocked at 133 fsb and a 1ghz slot 1 or Slotket processor?? and it handles Win 7 Pro BETTER than my Acer Aspire One 533 with 2gb of RAM and the pathetic N455 1.66ghz processor.
Is this quote pertaining to only XP and the installation on 32 bit hardware or is my relic still supported on Q4OS?
In the download section it still has 32 bit options and perhaps Plasma will run on this hardware?

How good is Q4OS? Put it this way, running a regular version of Q4OS runs BETTER and faster on my pathetic Acer Aspire One than Ubuntu Lite and other so called "Lite" distros! It is and looks like a regular version of Linux vs a so called Lite version that looks stripped down and runs slower.

Re: Q4OS Uninstaller for win Xp 32 bit does not exist

Your 32 bit computer supports better Trinity installation and basic installation than Plasma option setup, made mainly for 64 bits computers. But I think this is not the question of the post. The main question is how to uninstall Q4OS from windows Xp using nowadays the uninstaller provided by Q4OS on download section, because windows xp was able to allow to execute Q4OS Gemini installer from Xp and generate a Grub dual boot.
