Windows 10: Win 10 only allows me to install 32 bit

Hello! I have a X64 bit processor (i7 920)

Always had 64 bit system but i recently bought a original copy of win 10 pro and when i try to install:

the installation stuck in the win 10 log with no “loading dots”

but I also have a 32 bit installation and I was suprised that the “loading dots” appeared and the installation went well.

now i have 32 bit full working windows but cant use a lot of softwares because they don’t support 32Bit.


what can i do?

tried to connect and disconnect ram and hard disks.

Thanks, David.

:)

 

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.

 

load 32 bit cd onto win 10

How can I load a 32 bit cd onto win 10? I want to run my 32 bit CAD pgm. but can't load from the CD. Step by step in plain English please.

 

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

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