Windows 10: Different results in Win Update 64 bits

Hi
I try to install my old HP Deskjet 520 to my Win 10 computer.
It worked fine in my Win 7 system with a driver called HP Deskjet 500 that i got from win update when I installd the printer.

When I now try to install the printer in my Win 10 system 64 bits I do not succed. In the installation process Windows update does not present the HP Deskjet 500.

A friend of mine tried to do the same thing and he was presented th HP Deskjet 500 in the installation process.

Strange I think.
Is there anything I can do to get hold of the driver for my old HP - printer.
I hope so , but ..................

Best regards


OS-version 18363.476

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.

Win 10 wont activate after upgrade from Win 10(32 bit) to Win 10 (64 bit)

Hi,

Can you explain further how you switched from the 32bit architectures to the 64bit one? Going to the Microsoft Website is one thing, but it would be best to know the step-by-step procedures on how you installed the 64bit system.

As far as I know, Windows 10's digital entitlement should work with both 32 bit and 64 bit architectures. Only by installing a different Windows 10 version can result with this issue (Ex: Windows 10 Home 32 bit to Windows 10 Pro 64 bit)
