Windows 10: Running 32 bit software on 64 bit windows (Please Read)

Hello
I am having an awkward compatibility glitch. I have a stock copy of windows 10 professional and when I am trying to open an application, it says that it can't be installed and that I need a 32 bit system. I know that most other 32 bit software works fine and that windows is compatible with 32 bit software for the most part when running a 64 bit release. Anyone know an emulator like wineVDM to run them in a completely 32 bit system or a registry fix or another application that will fix this? Hit me up.

:)

64 bit applications cannot work on a 32 bit version of Windows 10. You will need to migrate to the 64 bit version of Windows 10 in order to run the application:

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.
