Tech Installed Win 10 32 bit on my 64 bit system

I had a shop install win 10, I had win 7 32 bit it seems. So they installed a 32 bit win 10, and I've been having some issues, one is I can only use 1/2 my ram as I have a 64 bit system.

should they have known better and installed win 10 64 bit? I asked them and this is what they said-

"As we discussed, an in-place installation (an upgrade from Windows 7 to 10) will always continue to use the number of bits as the original operating system. In other words, since your Windows 7 was the 32-bit version, the upgrade to 10 had to be 32-bit
as well; it doesn’t give us an option."

 

Install Win 10 Pro 32 bit on 64 bit Notebook

Please bear with me, as I try to explain my situation. When Win 8 Pro was first released, I purchased it directly from Microsoft, and they sent me two CDs; one for 32-bit and one for 64-bit, with both having the same Product key. I installed the 32-bit
one on my desktop PC, which upgraded itself to Win 8.1. When Windows 10 Pro was released to market, I upgraded to that. So far, so good.

A few days ago I purchased an Asus Notebook with 64-bit architecture, and an OEM Win 10 Home version installed. I want to somehow change the notebook to Win 10 Pro, but don't want to spend the $200 to do so. And, logic tells me that I shouldn't try to
install the Win 10 Pro 32-bit onto the 64-bit notebook. Where I bought the notebook, I asked if I could install the Win 8 Pro 64-bit onto the notebook, and was told no, I could not install a Windows version that is earlier than the existing one on the notebook.
And, just for the record, if that had been a viable way to go, I was going to delete the Product key from the PC, so that it wouldn't be on two machines at once.

My worst case scenario would be to reformat the Asus, install the 64-bit Win 8 Pro, and then keep doing upgrades until I get to where I want to be.

What are my options here? The end result I want is for the Asus Notebook to run Windows 10 Pro 64-bit.

Installing 32-bit Free Win 10 upgrade On a 64-bit Win 7

I'm going through all Computers in my house putting the free upgrade on them. I came to one of my computers. It's running Windows 7 SP1 64-bit. I'm installing the Windows 10 and I get a error saying "Processor doesn't support PrefetchW"

Okay, after all the 64-bit requires a processor that supports it

• To install a 64-bit OS on a 64-bit PC, your processor needs to support CMPXCHG16b,
  PrefetchW, and LAHF/SAHF.

So I'll do 32-bit Windows 10. However the setup will not run. It wan'ts me to do 64-bit.

I've looked in the registry and cannot find anyway to trick the computer into thinking it's a 32-bit.

I created a USB drive of Windows 10 32-bit from another computer, however, now it asks for a product key. It will not take my Windows 7 SP1 Key.
