Windows 10: WIn 10 will only install 32-bit, but my HP all in one is 64-bit

I found a post from 2015, same problem in 2020. Windows will not install 64-bit, only 32-bit, but 100% sure computer is 64-bit. Any solutions?

:)

 

Downgrade From Win 10 ( 64 Bit to 32 Bit )

Hello !

My device is always running on ( Win 8 - 32 Bit ) with high performance

Recently , I wanted to try windows 10

During Installation , I was stun that I downloaded 64 bit , Not 32 bit

Whatever , I found that my device matches the requirement of 64 Bit ( Ram 2 GB , Partition C: 40 GB )

So , I decided to keep on Installation of (64 Bit)

But .

First , the Installation took a longtime , longer than usual

Second , the performance is very slow , Compared to 32 Bit

Any way , I decided to downgrade to Win 10 32 Bit

After downloading the iso and burn it to USB

PC is freezing on the boot screen , Can't boot from USB

I tried a solution from internet , to Open the setup.exe from directory Drive:/Resources but Error message appeared

( Use the other installation disc that says 64-bit. ) Find the picture

I Tried another windows ( windows 8 - 32 Bit )

but the same result , freezing on boot screen or Error message

I have suspected the cause wasn't 64 bit

and may be the Iso I was installed on my PC is corrupted or it missing some files

or error occurred during installation , something like that

So I downloaded latest update Win_10_2004_64bit

But I couldn't install it also , freezing on boot screen

I can't continue with bad performance with current windows (64 bit)

I can't downgrade to win 8 or win 10 (32 bit)

I can't Install another version of win 10 ( 64 bit )

Please help , step by step to install any windows !

 

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.
