Upgrading Windows 10 32 Bit to Windows 10 64 Bit

Photoshop Elements would not install. I have 32bit Win 10, it requires 64 bit. Any suggestions?

 

why can't 32bit applications use internet on 64 bit windows 10?

Hello Kushagra,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

Under Windows 64-bit, 32-bit applications run on top of an emulation of a 32-bit operating system that is called Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit, or WOW64 for short. WOW64 intercepts all operating system calls made by a 32-bit application.

For each operating system call made, WOW64 generates native 64-bit system calls, converting 32-bit data structures into 64-bit aligned structures. The appropriate native 64-bit system call is passed to the operating system kernel, and any output data from the
64-bit system call is converted into a format appropriate for the calling application before being passed back.

Like 32-bit applications, WOW64 runs in user mode so any errors that occur in translating an operating system call will only occur at that level. The 64-bit operating system kernel cannot be affected.

Since WOW64 runs in user mode, all 32-bit application code must also run in user mode. This explains why 32-bit kernel mode device drivers and applications that rely on them, will not work under Windows 64-bit.

So only some of them might work or they may not working depending upon the compatibility. Most commonly Windows 10 will give errors while running 32bit apps on 64bit Operating systems.

I suggest you to run as Administrator and check if it loads in compatibility mode.

• Right click on any application which is 32bit and select run as administrator
  and check if it helps.
• Also check running in compatibility mode
  and check if it helps.

Keep us posted to help you better.

 

Going from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 10

Hi Edward,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

It is completely dependent on the Architecture of your system. If your system type is 32bit it is not recommended to move to 64 bit operating system.

Therefore I would suggest you to follow the steps and check your system type:

1. Press Windows key + R to go to the run command, type "control system" and click Enter.

2. In the System type, if it is mentioned "x64 based processor" then you can upgrade to Windows 10 for 64 bit.

For more information on installation, kindly refer to the suggestion by ZigZag3143 (MS - MVP)
