Windows 10: Windows 10 - 32 bit vs 64 bit

I have an acer laptop with Windows 10.


My laptop was running fine on Windows 10 64-bit mode/capacity and 64-bit programs/apps ran just fine.


However, I suddenly got a blue screen - so I reinstalled Windows to go back to factory mode.


Ever since, I cannot run 64-bit programs/apps - they either cannot install/run properly - somehow Windows is running on 32-bit mode and I don't know how to go back to 64-bit mode.


Anyone have any idea how I can fix the issue?

Windows 10 Pro 64-Bit to 32-Bit?

Hi,


Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

  What is the name of the game?
  

If the system architect is 32 bit, then you can’t install 64 bit version of windows in it. I suggest you to run “winver” by pressing Windows + R, and check the version and bit.

There are some games that you can install it in 32 bit as well.

Windows 10 is the free upgrade for those users who has genuine key for Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 , normally it doesn't require activation, it's gets activated automatically, in case if you face an issue with activation the you can get back to
us.
