Windows 10 x86 Running on x64 Processor - How do I reinstall Windows for x64?

Hi,

I have a Windows 7 laptop that I recently upgraded to Win10. I have been running Windows 7 x86, thinking that I had a 32bit processor, but recently, I noticed when reinstalling ALL OF MY DRIVERS (Thanks, Microsoft.) that I actually have a 64bit processor.
Does anyone know how to upgrade Win10 x86 to Win10 x64 without any costs?

Thanks!

 

x86 to x64 & benching

Have a quick question..... When upgrading to x64 Win7 from x86 Win7, is it normal to see a 'drop' in gfx performance?
In the screen shot I listed below, I have my old score in the background (with the arrow pointing at it) that was with Win7 x86. The new test is with Win7 x64. Both were clean installs from a formated HDD. Is the score drop normal? Or do I need to look at something else? Only thing that was changed hardware wise was I clocked my cpu back from 3.5 to 3.4GHz. Would 100MHz affect it that much? *Toast :toast:
