    Netbook, 64-bit or 32-bit?

    The only real test would be trying 32 bit Windows 10 and seeing if it ends up being faster in practice [a test that would take quite a bit of your limited time].

    I get the impression that you are aware that
    2GB RAM are required for the 64 bit version
    whereas a minimum of 1GB is required for the 32 bit version. So your choice is between

    • getting the benefit of 64 bit processing but limited by the invalid RAM size, or
    • foregoing the 64 bit processing benefit in order to fulfil the minimum RAM requirement.

    32 bit versus 64 bit processing? which do I have?

    windows 10 32 or 64 bit ?

    The responses on this seem to be not totally consistent.

    If you are willing to jump through hoops such as installing Windows 10 multiple times, some of which would be clean installs, is it possible to upgrade from Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 10 64-bit using the free upgrade?

    I'm thinking a process something like:

    Step 1: Upgrade from Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 10 32-bit.

    Step 2: Clean Re-install Windows 10, but opt to install as 64-bit.
