    Upgrade install from Win-7 32-bit, to Win-10 64-bit Problems...?


    Last November I upgraded from Win-7 32-bit, to Win-10 64-bit.
    I have been plagued with weird issues..., that mostly were mostly un-fixable by this forum.

    Last Tuesday my Windows Updates were Optional, and they took two days to complete.
    Should I have done a Clean Install?
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    BTW?- I've been thinking about upgrading my desktop MBO/CPU, to something faster...- Any suggestions?
    Price isn't a problem!

    :)

    Upgrade Windows 10 32-bit to 64-bit.

    You have to do a "clean install" of Win 10 64 bit. There is no "upgrade" process from 32 to 64 bit.

    Did you have Win 7 Home or Pro. There is no "free upgrade" from Win 7 Home to Win 10 Pro. You have to do that upgrade in at least 2 steps:

    Win 7 Home to Pro to Win 10 Pro

    OR

    Win 7 Home to Win 10 Home to Win 10 Pro

    The 32 bit to 64 bit upgrade is a separate additional step.

    Run the WinVer command. What Version and Build do you have?

    If you have Version 1803, many people have reported "accidental" upgrades from Home to Pro by MS. But that "upgrade" doesn't work!

    Upgrade install from Win-7 32-bit, to Win-10 64-bit Problems...?

    Upgraded from Win 7 64 bit to Win 10 - was Win 10 64 bit automatic?

    Please somebody help me out. I had Win 64 bit on my PC. It worked much smoother and faster than Win 7 32 bit. I later upgraded to Win 10; however, I was not given an option of 32 or 64 bit. Was it automatic? I think my sys is 32 bit. I also deleted
    files enabling me to revert to Win 7 64 easily. If I have Win 10 32 bit, can I convert or upgrade to 64 bit? If so, do I need to revert back to 7 64 bit first or reinstall 7 64 back to get extra files I deleted first? Please inform.

    Thanx, Miguel
