Before installing skyrim 32bit
skyrim's installation should be carefully planned... some main steps are NOT to install skyrim in any restricted directories (like program-folders) and it is always a good idea to have "steam" installed inside a special directory (and the subdirs, too)...
so will will install steam , utitilities like MO inside a special game-hdd ( here D:\) and later on all needed external utilities/tools, too - if a special installation is needed
now, what installationmanager should be used... personal preferences are a main reason, since every manager has cons and pros... MO will be our choice, since it is possible to use profiles (maybe needed later on). MO versions 1.x are more or less used with skyrim 32bit and there are many tips/tricks to handle problems... but if you are not using the latest patches you don't have access to nexus-downloads, since there is a wrong references inside the program (could be changed manually) but there will be reason, we will try MO 2x... the vfs-strategy is adapted to newer ideas, OS and meanwhile there are lots of hints how to use this version, so we will give it a try... the main difference will be the handling of BSA (not uncheckable for "dummies", now as in versions 1.3x) but the same procedure as for the 64bit version of skyrim ... so it should be possible, a working 32bit version of skyrim to copy to Win10, if wanted, without changes...
why to use Win7 64bit? There are mainly personal reasons, like being disappointed with skyrim 64bit, better graphics with win7 than win10, more mods, the best user-community support of any skyrimversion, working sexlabs-mods... and so on...
so lets start with gathering basic tools, looking at safe installation for compiling, creation kit and so on...
