Intel Z97 Chipset Compatibility with Windows 10 64-bit?

HELLO all

I have had one person tell me that if I want to try and install Windows 10 64-bit onto my current 7 32-bit PC, I
CAN'T because of my motherboard's chipset, which is Intel Z97.
The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI. The processor is
Intel Core i5-4690 Haswell, which supposedly is 64-bit compatible.

Thing is, I can't find ANY reference elsewhere (including the Intel site) regarding chipsets and running 64-bit. The Gigabyte website lists my motherboard as being "Windows compatible" but doesn't say 32 or 64 bit.

Any info would be appreciated, THANKS!

(I haven't learned too much about chipsets yet, so please don't get too technical!)

 

Latest Intel Chipset Device Software


Is it correct that these drivers are not compatible with my Z77 Intel Chipset? I can't find it in the list on the page

If it's indeed not compatible, which Intel Chipset drivers should I then download from the Intel website? I have an Asrock Pro4 Z77 motherboard.

 

Intel - Core i7-9700K motherboard compatibility

Hi all, looking to upgrade my build to an Intel - Core i7-9700K 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor but basically every motherboard I plop into pcpartpicker seems to give me this error

• Some Intel B360/H310/Z370 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Coffee Lake Refresh CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions.

Not really sure what to do or what motherboard to choose. I don't really want to spend a lot of money or do anything fancy, just something that works with my CPU is all I need. Even when I pick motherboards that pcpartpicker says are compatible, I get this message. I'm scared of buying the wrong one and destroying my parts lol. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
