  1. Upgrade x86 to x64 Windows 10


    Hey folks,

    I'm about to upgrade an x86 win 10 to x64, do I need to know my license key?

    I have read online that I shouldn't need to as its already licensed, but I've also read people who've had to input it again.

    I've had no luck locating the installation DVD, must have lost it when I moved house. I ran ProduKey so I think i have it now, but I would be much happier if I didn't need to use this!

    Windows 10 x86 to Windows 10 x64 Questions

    Hi Guys,

    My laptop is currently running Windows 7 SP1 x86 on a Dell OEM licence. I have recently reserved my copy of Windows 10 via the upgrade advisor (yayy).

    I am looking to upgrade the RAM on my system to 8GB and therefore i would like to upgrade the system to Windows 10 x64 (via a custom install) when Windows 10 becomes available. My understanding is that when the W10 upgrade is available my existing copy of
    W7 will be upgraded using the current architecture (x86) and OEM licence. So my questions are...

    • After W10 is installed will W10 give me the option to create recovery media? (if so will the media allow to me to re-install using a x64 architecture?)
    • In terms of licencing If i perform a custom install of Window 10 x64 on my machine (after the automated W10 upgrade has been completed) will the new install W10 (on the same computer, just a different architecture) activate using the OEM licence?
    • Will Microsoft be releasing an ISO to allow custom installs?
    Thanks for all your help guys Upgrade x86 to x64 Windows 10 :)

    x86 to x64 & benching

    Have a quick question..... When upgrading to x64 Win7 from x86 Win7, is it normal to see a 'drop' in gfx performance?
    In the screen shot I listed below, I have my old score in the background (with the arrow pointing at it) that was with Win7 x86. The new test is with Win7 x64. Both were clean installs from a formated HDD. Is the score drop normal? Or do I need to look at something else? Only thing that was changed hardware wise was I clocked my cpu back from 3.5 to 3.4GHz. Would 100MHz affect it that much? *Toast :toast:

    Upgrade x86 to x64 Windows 10

    Windows 7 Home Premium x64 - Upgraded to Windows 10 Home x86


    I was just doing a little checking today and found that my win7 x64 installation
    Is now a windows 10 x86 installation after the upgrade
    The ISO I created from the download also pulls x64, but the installation was x86

    The disk was setup as MBR and noticed the media tool allows you to download x86, x64, both

    It appears I my case that the MBR HDD was upgraded to x86 even though the prior Arch was x64

    Anyone else??
