Windows 10: Win 10 32 bit

I'm having issues with installing windows 10 on a system. It has an m3a78-em motherboard and I've been able to boot an unactivated copy of win 32 (but couldn't update, meaning that the windows store is unavailable, which is necessary). This PC is for my little brother, and he plays the windows 10 minecraft. I can install windows 10 32 bit onto a USB through the tool, but my system (lenovo 710-25sh) does not recognize it as a bootable USB drive, nor does it boot from the 64 + 32 bit tool, only through the 64 bit tool, which will not boot on the m3a78-em system. (The m3a78-em does NOT have USB booting capabilities, only HDD, floppy, and cd drive) I dont necessarily need windows 10 itself, I just need a way to install a 32 bit OS, and then download the windows 10 minecraft, somehow. I'm really lost.

Will this work with going from Win 7 Pro 32-bit to Win 10 Pro 64-bit?


I wonder if there is any problem for going this route with installing Win 10/64-bit on a computer that had Win 7/32-bit (without ever installing Win 10/32-bit)?
Basically I am thinking about the process described here: How to Switch From 32-bit Windows 10 to 64-bit Windows 10 while skipping the middle step, - by using Shawn's solution.

There should not be an issue doing that, as long as the computer supports 64-bit.

 

Upgrade Windows 10 32-bit to 64-bit.

You have to do a "clean install" of Win 10 64 bit. There is no "upgrade" process from 32 to 64 bit.

Did you have Win 7 Home or Pro. There is no "free upgrade" from Win 7 Home to Win 10 Pro. You have to do that upgrade in at least 2 steps:

Win 7 Home to Pro to Win 10 Pro

OR

Win 7 Home to Win 10 Home to Win 10 Pro

The 32 bit to 64 bit upgrade is a separate additional step.

Run the WinVer command. What Version and Build do you have?

If you have Version 1803, many people have reported "accidental" upgrades from Home to Pro by MS. But that "upgrade" doesn't work!
