    Win 10 difficulty with 32 bit


    Dear, with the new computer, a Windows 10 pro, a 32 bit version of windows was purchased. But I can see that my computer does not work the best, especially since the GPU does not support the 32-bit driver in the win 10 version. When I bought my windows while i was installing the windows at the reseller I was not warned of the existing drawback, I would not have 32 bit- in the version. Can I re-install a win 10, 64 bit version with an existing key?

    :)

    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!
