    Windows 7 OEM move from 32-bit to 64-bit

    I have a Dell Vostro 3700 laptop running OEM 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium. I have the 32-bit disks but not 64-bit disks. I would like to move up to a 64-bit operating system. I believe the i5-560M CPU supports 64-bit processing. I cannot download a 64-bit
    version of Windows 7 Home Premium from Microsoft any more. Can I:

    • Reserve and install a 32-bit version of Windows 10.
    • Then download a 64-bit version of Windows 10 from Microsoft for free and activate with my current product key.

    Why program files are listed as 32-bit (x86) while operating system is 64-bit in Windows 10

    Original Title: 64bit or 32bit?

    Hello. I'm a bit confused as to why my program files are listed as 32-bit (x86) while my system is 64-bit. It's listed as 64-bit under system settings however the x86 would lead me to believe otherwise. Any ideas? I
    am running Windows 10.
