  1. I can't upgrade from upgrade to 64 bit even though I support it


    So, I have Windows 10 32 bit and want to upgrade to 64 bit; my CPU has the x64 architecture, I have downloaded the Media creation tool and have put windows 10 both versions on a USB but for some reason when I open the boot options with F12, the USB doesn't show up even though in the past it did. I tried different ports, and have formated and reinstalled windows on the USB but still nothing. Then I tried a new USB but still nothing on the 64 bit side, I can reinstall 32 but without a problem, what is going on?

    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.

    Upgrade to Windows 10 64-bit

    First, note that you can *not* upgrade from either Windows 7 or 10 32-bit to 64-bit. There is no way to change the "bitness" of any version of Windows by an upgrade.

    Since that means you have to do a clean installation, there's no sense in doing it in two steps. Just clean install 64-bit Windows 10.
