On EFI systems Windows can only be installed to GPT disk."I have seen almost every solution for this, But they all erase's the data.I don't want to lose my Data,So, if there's any solution I would really appreciate it.[Original Title: Windows Upgrade]

    32bit to 64bit with windows 10 upgrade

    When my 32bit windows 7 professional upgrade to 64bit windows 10 or will it be 32 bit still. I mistakenly had installed a 32bit OS but I have 16GB of ram. Would it be best to see what happens when it upgrades, then if it doesn't upgrade to 64bit, would
    buying windows 7 64bit cheaply after the 29th still upgrade to windows 10 for free.

    Windows 10 32bit and 64bit

    I have two similar problems. I have several Windows 7 64bit systems and I need to switch back to 32bit because of driver issues. I have no problems with 32bit Windows 10 but it appears it will not allow me to update a 64bit W7 installation to a 32bit W10
    installation.

    In addition before we found the driver problem we upgraded several computers to Windows 10 64bit.

    In both of these cases how do we change/update the installation? If I create an .iso file for a DVD will that allow a clean install from 64bit to 32bit?

    Problem Windows Upgrade 32bit to 64bit

    32bit to 64bit OS on 64bit PC

    Have a 64bit PC with a
    32bit OS.

    Can I upgrade this way to 64bit OS?

    First a 32bit upgrade and
    then a clean install with 64bit
    OS.
