Windows 10: Upgrading Windows 10 from 32 bit to 64 bit: Error "This app can't run on your PC"

Hi

Currently running Win 10 Pro 32 bit (current) on an older box, but seems to pass all requirements for 64 bit install of Windows 10 Pro (64 processor, SSE2, 4 GB RAM, plenty of space). But on run of win 10 64 install from USB (from Win media creator) I get error "This app can't run on your PC".


MB: Asus M3N78 Pro
CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9500 (AM2+, Quad-core 2.20 GHz)
RAM: 4 GB
System Type: 32-bit OS, x64-based processor


Any insight and help would be appreciated! This is a good build, and it would be worthwhile to reach it's potential.

Can`t Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit Windows 10

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.
