Windows 10: Windows 10 (64 bit) Upgrade from Windows 7 (64 bit)

Will there be a patch to install Windows 10 64 bit on our older computers? I know about the 32 bit version being compatible, but the AMD Athlon cpu's were originally designed to run 64 bit applications. Most of the cpu's have more than enough power for the OS. I'm sure there are people with Intel cpu's that would like to update their systems as well. Windows 7 is about to lose its support in about a year (2020). Also, a lot of programs won't even install on a 32 bit OS.

Windows 7 64-bit upgrade to Windows 10 64-bit

I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I would like to upgrade to Windows 10, but keep a 64-bit OS. Will the Windows 10 upgrade app provide me with a 64-bit OS or stick me with a 32-bit OS?

 

64 bit windows 7 to 64 bit windows 10

Will my 64 bit windows 7 automatically upgrade to 64 bit windows 10 when I receive my download notification, or what will I have to do to retain my 64 bit system

 

Windows 7 64-bit

So, I was really excited to find out my college was selling Windows 7 for $20! However, they only offer 32-bit *Bang Head :banghead:. Have many of you tried the 64-bit version? I plan on upgrading my RAM in the future, but of course that would be pointless if I only have 32-bit. If 64-bit is great and you all haven't run into many compatibility issues, I will save the extra money and get the 64-bit version.
