Windows 10: Error 1603 and 1304 32 bit OS

Every time I try to install a game cd rom

:)

 

Error 1603

Error 1603 generally occurs due to installation errors or corruption of the setup during installation or uninstallation (in most of the cases) although there are many other reasons too. And for this reasons only there is the popping of the "ERROR 1603" dialogue
box. Here are some of the ways to fix the problem :-

1. Close Background Software
2. Check the Software Is not Already Installed
3. Check That There’s Enough Hard Drive Space for the Program
4. Open the Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter
5. Erase Temporary Files From the Windows Temp Folder
6. Restart the Windows Installer Service
7. Edit the NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation Registry Value
8. Grant Full Control Permission to Installation Drive

Hope the following steps would help you to recover your p.c...

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.
