Windows 10: updating to windows 10 32-bit from windows 7 32-bit?

I currently have a old PC that I love using because of the amount of ports, it has a floppy disk, 2 dvd drives, and a blueray drive, The thing is it is running windows 7 and Windws XP, I want to keep using this PC for a few more years with windows until the offical end of support of windows 10, but whenever I try the windows 10 update tool it says "This is not a valid win32 application" when I try the windows 10 media creator tool, it loads and then just crashes and when i try to open it again it tells me to restart my system, how do I upgrade to windows 10 from windows 7? The System is 32-bit

Hi,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

  What is the name of the game?
  

If the system architect is 32 bit, then you can’t install 64 bit version of windows in it. I suggest you to run “winver” by pressing Windows + R, and check the version and bit.

There are some games that you can install it in 32 bit as well.

Windows 10 is the free upgrade for those users who has genuine key for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , normally it doesn't require activation, it's gets activated automatically, in case if you face an issue with activation the you can get back to

windows 10 32 or 64 bit ?

The responses on this seem to be not totally consistent.

If you are willing to jump through hoops such as installing Windows 10 multiple times, some of which would be clean installs, is it possible to upgrade from Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 10 64-bit using the free upgrade?

I'm thinking a process something like:

Step 1: Upgrade from Windows 7 32-bit to Windows 10 32-bit.

Step 2: Clean Re-install Windows 10, but opt to install as 64-bit.
