Windows 10: Wndows 10 x86,x86 based PC but x64 based processor,can it go x64

Thanks guys,i will get an external hard drive so i can backup my files

 

I would also suggest that you take a look at Macrium Software | Macrium Reflect Free to make an image of your current working 32 Bit system that can be used to re-install it quickly to as it is working when the image is taken. This should never be needed, but can be great in an emergency situation if the new install fail for some unforeseeable reason. You can also make an image of you new install with all it's software installed and use this as a baseline for any future installs - they are a lot quicker than a normal install - a lot of members here keep an image that is updated regularly ( weekly or monthly), as a "get out of jail free card" *Biggrin

 

In addition, you can mount an MR image and retrieve files from it if need be.

 

You will need to boot FROM the installer disk (or USB) in order to install the OS. You cannot run the installer from within Windows.

 

That's an excellent point that is often overlooked. Very easy to do, too. Thanks for posting that! *Thumbs

 

Oh yeah i also forgot i had an old netbook with 256gb hdd space,can i put my files there so i can put them back after i installed windows 10 64 bit?

 

Depends if you have enough free space. MR Image file (.mrimg) will be about 75 - 80% of total space used on disk you are backing up.

 

i noticed that i have 2 partions C: with 153gb and E: with 311 gb can i backup my files to E: and not wipeout E: because ill be installing windows on C:
