    Migrating older laptop from 32 bit to 64 bit


    I want to update an older laptop with larger ram and ssd to improve performance. It currently has Win 10 32 bit OS. Since the 32 bit OS limits maximum usable ram to 4G, I want to update to 64 bit as part of the update process. The laptop had Office 2013 when I bought it and that is fine for my purposes. I understand that I will install the 64 bit OS from scratch on the new drive. I have the COA on the back of the laptop, so I assume that will suffice for registering the installation. The problem is that I don't have the original Office installation disc - it was pre-installed when the laptop was bought. I never registered the installation to my account, so the COA is not associated with my account. Where can I get a download of Office 2013 to install once the update to 64 bit is complete?

    :)

    Migrate from Win 10 32 bit to 64 bit

    I have an ASUS PC with Intel Atom Quad core, 2 GB RAM and 32 GB EMMC storage. I also have an additional 64 GB Micro SD card. ASUS claim that it is '64 bit' architecture, but pre-loaded it with 32 bit OS. (2015). My problem is: since version 1709, MS have
    been consistently keeping my sound system off. Trying all that they suggested did not help. Finally, I have decided to migrate to 64 bit. (2 other PCs at home upgraded smoothly to version 1903 and they have 64 bit OS). Is it possible to migrate my PC to 64
    bit version?
