Windows 10: Move from 32 Bit OS to 64 Bit OS

Currently, I run windows 10 home 32 Bit on a 64 Bit processor. I am looking to upgrade the OS to 64 Bit but I don’t want to reinstall Windows as the computer is from a relative who passed away and was working on a application for training pilots. As there is no exe installer, when you back up the application, the registry and other items of it does not come over to the backup. I want to upgrade the computer to 64 Bit OS without losing the Program. Any tips? Thank you.PS: After restoring the program, a bunch of errors shows up.

32-bit or 64-bit OS?

Just search. There was plenty of discussion on that.
Some time ago there were issues with 64-bit adoption (availability of drivers, etc). But that's past.

It's no-brainer now. Go 64-bit.

64-bit OS will run 32 bit applications same as 32-bit OS
64-bit OS will not boost CPU performance, but will allow all 4 GB of your memory to be used (32-bit would limit it to 3.x GB)
64-bit OS will allow DX10/11 games to run faster because of better handling on GPU memory access

Cheers,

32-bit or 64-bit OS?

What would be better for intel core i5-2500, 4 gb RAM, video - geforce gtx460. Which would give the best performance. Im planning to instal 2 OS, one windows 7, second windows xp.
Im afraid that 32-bit applications will not run on 64-bit os or will be laggy or something. I readed somewhere that 64-bit os will boost cpu performance, is that true?
