Windows 10: Windows 10 can't be upgraded from 32 bit to 64 bit

Hey,

So today i downloaded media creation tool, created windows 10 media on my USB. I restarted the PC, went to BIOS and changed the boot order to make my usb the first to boot. It took me to the options part where i have to select either 64 bit/ 32 bit. But I'm not able to install the 64 bit version. It initially loads, then the windows logo pops up but the system restarts again. It keeps rebooting each time the logo pops up. Im able to install the 32 bit version without any problems. My processor supports 64 bit as well.

Please help me :


Thanks

:)

 

Windows 10 Upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit

So, Windows 10 Upgrade is being rolled out worldwide, and I have 'reserved' my upgrade.

Currently my computer is running Windows 7 Pro 32-bit. I'm planning to 'upgrade' it to Windows 10 64-bit (via fresh install, of course).

After reading many references, these will be the steps I'll do:

1. Let the "Get Windows 10" app upgrade my OS to Windows 10 32-bit
   
2. Note the activation key
   
3. Download the Installation Media for Windows 10, but choosing 64-bit instead
   
4. Perform a clean install
   
5. Reactivate using the activation key in Step #2
   

(Of course I'll backup my data first.)

However, I still have some questions:

1. On Windows 7, the activation key does not differ between 32- or 64-bit versions. Is it still so with Windows 10?
   
2. Will I be able to download a different architecture on Step #3?
   
3. Is there anything I need to prepare beforehand?
   

Thank you for your assistance.

Is there a simple step by step to upgrade windows 10 32 bit to 64? I just upgraded from Windows 7 and there was no prompt for 32 vs 64 bit.
