Try adding more RAM, 64-bit Windows 7 can use as much RAM as your laptop can take.
Also remember to defrag the hard drive (but not if it's an SSD) if you have not done it for ages.

As regards installing Windows 7 32-bit, you must first check to see if 32-bit drivers have been released for your model on Toshiba's website.

Toshiba particularly will often only support 64-bit Windows on some of their laptop models, which means they won't have 32-bit drivers for it.
