Windows 10: My computer is 32 bit when it's supposed to be 64 bit

Discus and support My computer is 32 bit when it's supposed to be 64 bit in Windows 10 Installation and Upgrade to solve the problem; I can't see any reason or benefit to using Diskpart when the Media Creation Tool will do it with one click, or using Rufus will give you a few more...

    My computer is 32 bit when it's supposed to be 64 bit


    I should have mentioned Rufus. (I've never used it, though.)

    I generally want to have the ISO around, so I wouldn't use the MCT to both create an ISO and to make a bootable key drive. Rather than using the Media Creation Tool to make a bootable USB drive and then create an ISO from that, I do it the other way around.

    I use Diskpart to prepare a bootable USB drive mainly because I have been using it with success for years, probably since the days of the Win 7 betas (2009). If I did it more often, I might prefer to keep a special purpose tool around for the task.
