    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.

  4. will upgrading to 64 bit OS remove previous users from the computer?

    Upgrading my computer to a 64 bit os,

    In trying to upgrade my computer to a 64 bit os, I downloaded the Microsoft Win 10 Download tool. I created the installatio media with both a USB flash drive as well as a DVD. Each time I tried to do the installation it went to the 32bit os even though
    I had checked the 64bit os. After trying several times and thinking that the installation media wasn't being accessed by the startup, even though I set the USB and then the DVD player as the first drive to boot from. After several failures of getting it to
    boot from either the USB or the DVD, I disconnected the hard drive and got the message it couldn't find a bootable file. I reconnected the hard drive but have continued to get that same message. I haven't been able to make any progress from that point. Any
    suggestions?
