Windows 10: Update a dual boot Windows 7 32bit to Windows 10 64bit

Again a question,
Can I perform the free upgrade using a bootable disk without reserving upgrade with Get Windows 10 app ??
I haven't got the app yet.I installed the updates KB2952664 and KB3035583 .

 

You do not need to wait for the upgrade or reserve it.

You can create a usb installation usb drive or dvd using following link

Windows 10

1. Backup all data, make sure you know your current windows key, and recommend an image backup as well.

Run showkeyplus to get key if you do not know it. If you had preinstalled windows 7, you need the COA key usually on blue sticker on base of pc.

2. To upgrade, keeping programs, insert usb stick in whilst running windows and click setup.exe.

3. To clean install, boot from usb stick, select custom install and activate using old key.

 

I have still doubts on the 64bit install after the free upgrade...

I need a step by step guide (pdf or a link to the guide) for reinstalling win10 by formatting local disk C only.Or just say how to do it... Please... :-/

 

This is the method I would use, saving the genuineticket.xml file from your current Windows 7:
Clean Install Windows 10 Directly without having to Upgrade First - Windows 10 Forums

When you are doing this procedure:
Windows 10 - Clean Install - Windows 10 Forums

DO NOT delete any partitions - instead select the old Windows 7 partition where you want the new Windows 10 to be.

 

I currently have a 32bit win7. Can I directly clean install win10 64bit using the genuine ticket method, without having an upgrade to 32bit win10 and then clean installing 64bit??

 

Yes

 

I didn't knew it..
I was sad to do a 32 bit upgrade and then 64 bit clean install because it wastes a lot of time.
Now happy to know this...
I am going to use the genuine ticket method....
Thanks...

 

The genuine ticket method is only really needed in exceptional cases.

Now, you can just normally clean install latest version and activate using Windows 7 key.

 

However, since ajs11 already has Windows 7 installed, saving the genuineticket.xml file takes all of two minutes and to me is worth the extra two minutes spent for the insurance in case something goes wrong with product key activation.

 

OK - that is sound advice.

 

Yes.
I also think that it is right. In this forum itself I have read issues on activating Win 10 with Win 7 product key.
So I think it is safe to create the genuine ticket..

 

How will the windows10 64bit run on a 2GB RAM?
Can it run smoothly???

 

Hello guys.. What about running a 64bit win 10 on 2gb ram??
How it will be??

 

I doubt if you would see much difference between 32 bit Windows 10 and 64 bit Windows 10 with 2 GB ram.

 

You will truly see a much bigger benefit if you can install at least 2GB extra RAM compared with any (probably undetectable) difference between 32bit and 64bit. On most pcs and laptops, it is quite easy to add extra RAM. Some tablets are not expandable.

You can get additional benefit installing an SSD, but the benefit will be more marginal compared with upgrading from 2GB to 4GB.
