Windows 10: Win 10 64 bit crash

Damn win10. I have my computer set to automatically shut down at 6:00 in the morning in case I have left my computer on. This time, just moments before6:00, I was entering a YouTube comment on Firefox 73.0.1, when the shut down occurred. Then, after powering back up, it tells me that an error has occurred, and then says it is fixing it, and then it shuts down. Then I power up again and it does the same thing again. Then, on round three, it claims to have fixed the problem by removing recent updates. **** ??? This has occurred twice now.


Help ?

64 bit Win 10

I have been using 64 bit Win 7 and upgraded to Win 10, which stuck me with 32 bit.

How do I get to 64 bit Win 10?

 

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!

 

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.
