    Can I/How to Upgrade from W10 pro 32 bit to 64 bit


    I have an ASUS X53e IntelR CoreTM i5-2450M CPU @ 2.50GHz that came with Win 7 Premium have license. I upgraded it to Windows 10 pro 32 bit by mistake even though it is 64 bit capable. I have now realized that it is only using half of its 8 GB RAM. I just purchased Microsoft 365 Family if that matters.


    Is my original Win 7 Premium license valid for an upgrade to W10 Pro 64 bit? Does the Microsoft 365 Family help somehow W10 included?. Is there a link to how I execute this upgrade? Thank you.

    :)

    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 from 32 bit windows 10 pro to 64 bit

    The first item to check is to ensure your PC has 64 bit processor, if yes, to upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit requires a 'clean install', you will need to purchase a Windows 10 Pro installation device (DVD).

    The current upgrade system will only install the bit version of W10 that is currently installed.

    Upgrading from 32 to 64 bit system can not be carried out by utilising the current free upgrade system, also upgrading from 32 to 64 bit system has always required purchasing a 64 bit installation device.
