How-to
You can use the same license to upgrade to Windows 10 64-bit from 32-bit, but it requires reinstallation – here's how.
Jump to:
•Check 64-bit support
•Upgrade from 32 to 64-bit
Windows 10 can run on both 32-bit and 64-bit processor architectures. If you have a computer with a 32-bit setup, you can upgrade to the 64-bit version without acquiring a new license. The only caveat is that there is no in-place upgrade path to make the switch. The only option is to perform a clean installation of Windows 10.
If you want to upgrade a system from Windows 10 32-bit to the 64-bit version, you first need to determine whether the processor has 64-bit support, 2GB of memory, or more, and whether the remaining parts have support for 64-bit drivers.
Determine 64-bit compatibility from Settings
To check whether the processor can run the 64-bit of Windows 10, use these steps:
•Open Settings.
•Click on System.
•Click on About.
A Windows 10 product key allows you to install the 32-bit or 64-bit version. The only caveat is that you can't perform an in-place upgrade. Instead, you must delete the previous setup and perform a clean installation to change architectures.
Create installation media
As part of the architecture upgrade process, you have to use the Microsoft Media Creation Tool to create a USB bootable media by connecting a USB flash drive of at least 8GB of space to the computer, and then use these steps:
•Open Microsoft download page.
•Under the "Create Windows 10 installation media" section, click the Download Now button.
•Double-click the MediaCreationToolxxxx.exe file to launch the tool.
