Windows 10: Long path names on Windows 10 Pro 64-bit version 2400

I need to open and save to long pathnames on my Windows 10 Pro 64-bit OS using Word from Office 365. I have enabled LongPathsEnabled using the Group Policy Editor and checked the change using Regedit. I have rebooted my system but long pathnames still don't work. What do I need to do to enable Long Pathnames? Some suggest a workaround using 3rd party produces. I've used long pathnames before. We are missing something here. Microsoft, it is time to get involved! I've read that application, in order to use long pathnames, need something in their manifests.

Windows 7 Pro 32-bit to Windows 10 Home 64-bit

You do not qualify for Windows 10 Home 64 bit. If you wanto switch to a 64 bit version of Windows 10, it is a two step process and your logical upgrade path is Windows 10 Pro.

I want to switch from my currently installed architecture when migrating to Windows 10. Do I have that option with the free upgrade offer?

• The free upgrade does not have the option to switch architectures, so the architecture will remain the same. If you want to switch architectures, you will have to download the Window 10 .ISO file in the appropriate architecture (32 or 64 bit) and perform
  a custom install.

Windows 10 commands with Long path name are not working

Hi,

I am using Windows 10 Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.112)

I have tried following to enable long path name support on my windows 10 system -

1. Set the registry key at

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem LongPathsEnabled (Type: REG_DWORD)

2. Enabled

Group Policy at Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Filesystem > Enable Win32 long paths

Rebooted the system after setting registry and enabling group policy but I still can not use long path name with windows commands.

Can you please suggest what else needs to be done to enable long path name on windows 10.

Thanks.

 

Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit to 32-Bit?

Hi,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

• 
  What is the name of the game?
  

If the system architect is 32 bit, then you can’t install 64 bit version of windows in it. I suggest you to run “winver” by pressing Windows + R, and check the version and bit.

There are some games that you can install it in 32 bit as well.

Windows 10 is the free upgrade for those users who has genuine key for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , normally it doesn't require activation, it's gets activated automatically, in case if you face an issue with activation the you can get back to
us.



For reference you can refer the link below and check if it helps (32 bit and 64 bit architect applies same to windows 10)
