    Can't Install Win10 Pro / 64 bit from Microsoft download page

    1. Thank you all for your suggestions. Nothing actually worked on my end. If you haven't tried the recent MS 64 bit download/boot/install, please attempt it if you have time.
    2. Personally, I think there is a bug in the MS 64 bit process as I had no issues with the 32 bit.
    3. In the end, I bought an OEM install disk on-line for $20 and I was able to get 2 of my PCs upgraded to Win-10 Pro / 64 bit. No more headache.

    Thanks again & have a great week.

    Performance - 32 Bit Vs 64 Bit

    Greetings:

    • I am running Windows 10 / 32 bit
    • My computer is a 64 bit CPU with 5Gb Memory
    • I use mostly MS Office Applications and a bit of photo and video editing.
    Question:

    1) Will my system operate much faster if I upgrade to Windows 10 / 64 Bit?

    I can upgrade at no cost since I have the Original CD of Windows 7 /64

    2) Would yo do it if you were in my place?

    Thanks

    MS-DOS on 64 bit

    Windows 10 Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit

    So, Windows 10 Upgrade is being rolled out worldwide, and I have 'reserved' my upgrade.

    Currently my computer is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. I'm planning to 'upgrade' it to Windows 10 64-bit (via fresh install, of course).

    After reading many references, these will be the steps I'll do:

    1. Let the "Get Windows 10" app upgrade my OS to Windows 10 32-bit
    2. Note the activation key
    3. Download the Installation Media for Windows 10, but choosing 64-bit instead
    4. Perform a clean install
    5. Reactivate using the activation key in Step #2

    (Of course I'll backup my data first.)

    However, I still have some questions:

    1. On Windows 7, the activation key does not differ between 32- or 64-bit versions. Is it still so with Windows 10?
    2. Will I be able to download a different architecture on Step #3?
    3. Is there anything I need to prepare beforehand?

    Thank you for your assistance.
