Windows 10: Need To Repair Windows 10 32Bit

I cannot find an information on repairing Windows 10. My windows 10 runs but think I have a hidden folder or a file or so missing after creating a new User Account and copying files and folder from my previous account name.

Windows runs, I need to keep everything, my files, apps and setting. All I need is to re-install windows so it would add whatever windows part is missing. I Do NOT want to "Reset PC" just need to re-install the OS (Windows). I have searched a great deal but still cannot find the correct info.

By the way, I started th PC with the disk in the tray, went through the process to Repair PC. It could not and created a TXT file that Ibhave the wrong version. Surely I have the right Windows (32bit) disk created with Windows Creation Tool.

Thanks in advance.

Can I upgrade from 32-bit Windows 7 to 64-bit Windows 10 with the free upgrade?

Hi,

It is an Upgrade to Windows 10 that you are being offered for free.

And 32bit upgrades to 32bit.

32bit to 64bit is not an upgrade and you need to do a clean install for that.

Windows 7 32bit > upgrades to Windows 10 32bit.

Windows 7 64bit > upgrades to Windows 10 64bit.

Cheers.

 

Windows 10 rejected Intel Q6600 as insufficient CPU

Windows 10 64bit or 32bit?

Does anybody have Windows 10 64bit working with a Q6600 processor?

I don't think the 64bit version of Windows 10 will work with a Q6600. Windows 10 32bit should work though, but I don't want to install 32bit.

I need W10 64bit to work for me because I have 8GB RAM and 32bit W10 will not use but 3.4GB of that RAM.

 

In order to fix a broken Windows installation, Windows basically contains three options: Reset it, restore it or refresh it.
Refreshing Windows is the less drastic one of the three - note however that even this one will remove some apps.
Here is a guide on how it works: Refresh Windows 10 - Windows 10 Forums

From your problem description I am not even sure, if a refresh would help. If you are missing a file or folder inside your user folder, then a refresh does maybe not help here as it mainly leaves the user folders untouched.

What is the problem you are having?
What file/folder do you think is missing?
Would maybe just using a copying tool correctly fix this? Also hidden files can be copied...

 

Open This PC and click on View. Check the box to show hidden items. Now open your hard disk and open the Windows.old folder. Open the Users folder then the folder where your user files where. Copy any folders and files you need to your new user folder. If you think that features are missing from Windows 10 you can also try "upgrading" Windows 10 to Windows 10! Yes this sounds weird but doing so it will perform an in-place install of Windows 10 and hopefully add the missing features. This is the way to repair a Windows installation without the dreaded reset-restore-refresh options that also delete stuff.
