Installing 64 bit over 32 bit WIndows 7

Pretty much I have a system with 32 bit Windows 7 Ultimate, wondering if I can just use the upgrade option when I boot from disk to install 64 bit over my current os without loosing any of my programs and data etc. Possible?..

Thanks!

 

How do I install IE 32 bit and/or switch from 64 bit to 32 bit?

Windows 10: Internet Explorer

• You need to have Windows 10 64-bit(x64) to use this feature
• To check:
  • Click on Windows Key
  • Click on Settings
  • Click on System
  • On left panel click on About
  • On right panel check system type:
    • System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
      • That means you have Windows 10 64-bit
    • System Type: 32-bit operating system, x86-based processor
      • That means you have Windows 10 32-bit
• Internet Explorer
  • 32-bit(x86):
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe
  • 64-bit(x64):
    • C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplorer.exe

Note:

• You cannot switch between Windows 10 32-bit to 64-bit. you need to re-install Windows 10 64 bit.
• To download Windows 10 64-bit:
  Microsoft - "Windows 10 - Download tool now"

  If you have Windows 10 64-bit, you can run any application which supports 64-bit and as well as 32-bit
  

 

Does Windows 10 install at 32 bit or 64 bit.

Hi Vedant,

We appreciate you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

As your Windows 7 is running on 32 bit, Windows 10 will be installed as 32 bit architecture if you install Windows 10 through Windows updates. If you want to install Windows 10 64 bit, I suggest you to check whether your system supports 32/64 bit architecture.
If your computer supports 64 bit architecture, then i suggest you to refer the below link to install Windows 10 64 bit using the media creation tool.

Download Windows 10.

Download Windows 10

You can check the System information from your computer to check for the architecture of Windows supported by your computer.

Reference: I suggest you to refer the below article for more information about Windows 10.
