Windows 10: Win 10 Pro x86 32 Bit ver 1909 HomeGroup? Give Access To: "EveryOne"

Win 10 Pro x86 32 Bit ver 1909 HomeGroup?


Did a clean install on one of my three old PC running win 10 pro.


Still having buges with sharing.


Main files on Old win 10 pro running 180x.


Sometime when I edit a file on 1909, it then will not let the actual PC file is on replace it with a newer version made on that PC.


Also, when you rt click a folder on version 1909, say give access to...


It still shows HomeGroup. Why does it show homegroup if HomeGroup is gone.


What is best way to share with everyone on my private network?


Is it right click > give access to > Everyone


If I try to share, then add user name of other PC, it usually does not recognize the name or worse tries to add it as user to the PC you are on.


Should you do C: drive or just specific folders (can highlight several at once)


I had issue once where a new windows update stopped keyboard and mouse from working. If I share C drive would that allow me to get into system restore of another PC on my network?


Currently no WyFy Just ethernet. So if someone is already in house, not worried about PCs.

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.

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