Windows 10: Win 10 install works for 32bit but crashes for 64bit

Hi

I am doing a clean install on a new PC build. I have windows 10 on USB that I purchased with the computer components. When I try to install the 64 bit version, the first time it starts loading files then goes the screen goes black and resets. The second time, it starts loading files then sits on the black screen with the blue windows icon forever.

However if I try to install the 32 bit version, it loads the files and moves on to select language etc - basically it looks fine.

I have tried this with a few different SSD drives and get the same result.

I have flashed the BIOS to the latest version. The main board is ASUS Z87M-PLUS.

If anyone has any ideas on what could be be the problem, I would appreciate your help.

Thanks

:)

 

Win 7 32bit oem Home premium to Win 10 64bit Home

Hi,

I have win 7 32bit oem Home premium that comes with my PC without the installation disk (only key available).

I would like to switch to 64bit especially when windows 10 is available since my system is totally compatible with 64 bit. One way I hoping to do this is to upgrade my 32bit win 7 to 32bit win 10 and then doing a clean install to upgrade to 64bit win 10.

Will I still get to activate the 64bit win 10 for free if I do it this way?

 

Can I re-install/change Win 10 64 bit from Win 10 32bit? will it affect the license?

My sister bought laptop (ASUS a445ln) and she install win 8 32bit (OEM) from CD with product key included on cover. And then she upgrade it to win 8.1 32bit and win 10 32bit both of them upgraded via store. But some of her hardware is undetected by windows
10 32bit such as touchpad and after looking for driver in support site it only provided with win 10 64bit. Can I re-install win 10 64bit with product key/serial number from win 8 32 bit?

 

Found it - faulty memory stick.
