    Windows 10 upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit with same key


    I am looking to upgrade my Windows 10 from 32 bit to 64 bit with a clean install, yes, the hardware supports a 64 bit os, my concern is would my current 32 bit key work with the 64 bit Windows 10 once upgraded, would it activate with no issues whatsoever? I have also checked that the 32 bit win 10 was activated with a Digital Licence,, and I extracted the product key using Produkey, I tried one day installed the 64 bit os, alongside as a dual boot (its not staying like this), the product id number was different, does this matter at all?


    Thank you


    Tom

    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.
