Windows 10 Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit

So, Windows 10 Upgrade is being rolled out worldwide, and I have 'reserved' my upgrade.

Currently my computer is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. I'm planning to 'upgrade' it to Windows 10 64-bit (via fresh install, of course).

After reading many references, these will be the steps I'll do:

1. Let the "Get Windows 10" app upgrade my OS to Windows 10 32-bit
   
2. Note the activation key
   
3. Download the Installation Media for Windows 10, but choosing 64-bit instead
   
4. Perform a clean install
   
5. Reactivate using the activation key in Step #2
   

(Of course I'll backup my data first.)

However, I still have some questions:

1. On Windows 7, the activation key does not differ between 32- or 64-bit versions. Is it still so with Windows 10?
   
2. Will I be able to download a different architecture on Step #3?
   
3. Is there anything I need to prepare beforehand?
   

Thank you for your assistance.

 

Upgrading to Windows 10 64 bit version

I own a hp pavilion dv6 2165tx notebook pc.

I want to upgrade it to Windows 10 64 bit, currently i am using win 10 32 bit version.

My question is that after upgrading it, will i face any problems regarding drivers?

As the reason behind my upgrade is, recently i have installed a new ram making my total ram to 6 gb but it shows only 2.99 gb usable. Few of my friends suggested me to upgrade pc to 64 bit version in order to make use of all 6gb.

Thank you!!

 

BSOD after RAM upgrade on Windows 10 pro 64 bit

Hi

I have emailed all details to Kingston tech support, ANZ. They are working on it. memtest86, starts running for 3 seconds, and the system reboots, so there is no conclusive report generated to suggest that the memory has problems.

Before buying the RAM, I have cross checked with Crucialscan, the specs of the motherboard and cpu, all of which suggest it supports upto 8gb of RAM, but the RAM may not run on a higher frequency like 1600 or 2133 MHz, because the frequency supported by
the motherboard is 1333mhz, and the cpu has an integrated memory controller and limites that to 800mhz.

And Kingston RAM specs say, it can run at lower frequencies and we do not have to do any changes for that.

And, indeed, when I installed Windows 7 pro 32 bit, cpu-z reports show that RAM is running at 399mhz each unit, totalling to 800mhz.

So, the conclusion here is difficult, and hence all chaos over this because, Windows 10 64 bit and memtest86 behave in similar manner, whereas, Windows 7 pro 32 bit is fine with it. Don't have the facility to check with Windows 7 64 bit or Windows 10 32
bit though.

Unable to do that this point of time.
