I'm on 32bit because my personal computer has only 3GB RAM. As I mostly use my office computer, it doesn't bother me much.
Well I tried that but it was annoying. I also tried Voodoo shield but it deemed unnecessary to me.UAC set it to max.

Nothing wrong with what you're saying, but if he has already bought the Eset license, it is better he enjoys itSince you have limited RAM (I only have 4gb, so I can relate) I would consider giving Windows Defender a trail run.
I recommend this because you said you've not faced a recent attack, indicating to me you are a knowledgeable user.
*And remember in 1703 you can adjust settings to allow apps from Windows store only. Essentially acting as a anti .exe for you.
However if you wish to continue with ESET it is certainly a excellent AV by any standard.
