    Installing windows 10 pro 64 bit on new PC

    I want to Install windows 10 pro 64 bit on new PC , On my old PC I have windows 10 pro 32 bit , 9 years ago I bought old PC with OEM Vista OS , about 2-3 years ago I purchased windows 8 pro 32 bit for $40 by a download from microsoft and clean installed
    this on old PC on a new hard drive, since then I upgraded to windows 8.1 pro 32 bit and then upgraded to windows 10 pro 32 bit. Can I directly install the windows 10 pro 64 bit on new PC by USB drive created by mediacreationtool program or do I have to install
    windows 8 pro 32 bit via my windows 8 recovery CD then upgrade to win 8.1 pro 32 bit , then install windows 10 pro 64 bit on new PC by USB drive created by mediacreationtool program? Also will there be any activation issues?

  3. Upgrade from Windows 7 Ultimate 32 Bit to Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit

    Upgrading to 64 bit on new drive

    I have on my desktop computer Windows 10 Pro 32 bit, Version 1703, build 15063.138. I want to upgrade to windows 10 Pro 64 bit. I want also to add a SSD drive to my old computer and make it the boot drive. I know how to add the drive and my i5 processor
    is 64 bit ready. My present windir is now on a partition of drive C. How do I upgrade so that the new installation will be on the new drive and will recognize the activation I have now.
