Upgrade From 32bit To 64 Bit
Feb 17, 2016
I recently purchased a computer with Windows 10 32 bit installed. The guy I bought it from said there seemed to be something wrong with the RAM (8GB installed but only 3.25Gb usable). I checked the RAM and it was all OK, then doing a little research I found that this is common for machines designed for 64 bit. My computer system indicates that it has a 32 bit operating system, x64 bit processor. I have downloaded the 64 bit ISO file but when I open the setup.exe file I get a message telling me that "this app can't run on your PC".
I have talked to a Microsoft techo through the chat option who confirms that my computer is able to run 64 bit (after I gave the techo direct access to my computer). At that stage I was seeking assistance with the 64 bit download which the techo resolved. After the successful download I am now having a problem with the installation.

I have a 64-bit desktop PC with 8GB RAM installed on it. I had installed 32-bit Windows 7 Home on it (when I purchased the O/S DVD, years ago, I only had a 32-bit machine). Yesterday, I upgraded it to Windows 10.
"This PC >> Property" shows :
-- Installed Memory (RAM): 8 GB (usable 3.4 GB) (less than half)
-- System type: 32-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
Thus, my installed memory remains underutilized. This situation can be rectified by changing the Operating System from 32-bit to 64-bit, I guess. But, the question that I face here is "How do I do that"?

I have downloaded Windows 10 and created multiple USB's using Rufus/Windows 7 USB Tool/Even The Win 10 Creation tool, however everything time I try to install using UEFI the USB drive is never detected therefore it can't boot. I change it to legacy and it does boot and will only install the 32bit version...
I have downloaded the 64bit image only numerous times, created it with either with one of the above methods, even with Rufus settings correct, I can never install the 64bit version. As a test I did the same steps for Windows 8 media and it works fine under UEFI and install the 64bit version.
UEFI is selected in my bios, secure boot is off (even tried it with it on) - Even burn them all to DVD to no avail.
PS I even install the 64bit version of 8 then tried to run the setup within the ISO of 4 different downloads of either both images and the 64bit only image but all state that I need to insert the 64bit media and setup can not install.

Have upgraded from Win 7 to Win 10 a few times already and keep going back to Win 7 'cause it system slows down (start up and shutdown) after second reboot on Win 10.
It takes about 30 seconds to load on Win with all kinds of installed programs. Win 10 takes at least twice the amount and i have barely loaded anything yet.

My windows 7. 32 bit laptop gave up the ghost and is completely defunct. I had backed this up to external hard drive. I now have windows 10, 64 bit laptop and would like to recover, if possible, some of the files from the backup drive.

I have several computers running Win. 10!
This problem only occurs on my 32bit machine, where the Left Click Mouse on Start Panel doesn't work any longer?

I just installed the TP Link T6e 1300 WiFi adapter card and everything was ok until I noticed that all my applications are launching in 32-bit instead of 64-bit. Some programs won't open, but are "running" according to task manager in 32-bit. Is there anyway I can troubleshoot this?
OS:
WIndows 10
Expansion Card:
TP Link T6e 1300
MB:
ASUS P8 z77-v lk

I have windows7 on my HD. Im going to download windows10 onto a new SSD. I want to keep all my files on the HD for obvious reasons but I want rid of the W7 OS to create space.
Do I connect my SSD up to the mobo and launch W7, go to my desktop and click on the W10 free upgrade pop-up and then select the install destination to the SSD
Do I remove my HD and just have the SSD connected to the mobo and launch my pc, and download W10 via USB or something? Im not sure about this method, this is why I ask.
I dont have Windows 10 on disk, but I do have an OEM key.

Just upgraded my work pc to windows 10. Haven't gotten to the desktop yet. I cannot no longer log in. It does not recognize my password. This has never happened before. Also, my login prompt under 8.1 was just the password. Now it also presents me with a selection for the user name and another one for the password. Didn't expect that problem. Moreover it does not react to when I request a reboot. (By the way, the pc is independent. It does NOT belong to a domain.)

After I upgraded to Windows 10 I noticed it created another hidden partition. I upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate 64 to Win 10 Pro 64. Originally Windows 7 had a 100mb System Reserved now it's showing a unnamed 456mb partition. Do I need to keep these? Seems Strange.
I have another PC i clean installed Windows 10 only made the 450mb unnamed partition not the 100mb one. Seems no need for that one? I wanted to go back to 7 but was over the 30 days seems it all deleted to go back

I upgraded one of my systems to 10 the other day and ever since it won't stay off, it just turns itself back on every time I shut it down. It was a clean install, not an upgrade. Never had this issue before the upgrade.

I reserved my upgrade which is now telling me that the upgrade is available, i enter the 'OK, let's continue' area and get the 'working on it' screen and it stays there for a long time and goes nowhere, Is this because I have previously downloaded an ISO file and transferred to my laptop to evaluate Win 10 and now my desktop will not load the software even though it is saying the download is complete.

A few months back I upgraded my primary hard drive to an SSD, samsung evo 850. I copied everything over using samsung migration and now there is a system reserve partition that I never noticed before,
Well, I finally decided to do the windows 10 upgrade from windows 8.1 but the partition wont allow it to happen.
Am I safe to delete that partition? I'm not entirely sure what it is.

I did the upgrade with the media creation tool - "Upgrade this PC" option and my Windows wasn't activated. Using the "Activate" button gets me a "Windows can't be activated. Try again later" message (I'm on Brazilian Portuguese language, so the actual English message may be a little different).
After some web searching, I tried a variety of slmgr commands that all return error messages saying I'm on a "non-core edition" and none of the slui options give any result (not even errors, they just don't do anything). Clicking on the error detail link on the activation page shows a blank popup.
Product key information shows *****- opposed to *****-XXXXX I've seem in many screenshots of other people having activation problems.
My previous OS was Windows 7 SP1 OEM that came shipped with the laptop and was never formatted (and the hardware was never changed). I kept my personal data while making the upgrade.
Another issue I'm having which I don't know if it is related or not to the activation problems, is that Window Update have tried and failed many many times to install package KB3074683.
For the record, the activation screen was different and I haven't received any message about the system not being activated before creating a Microsoft account in the XBox app (and I still log on the computer with my local account).
How to activate my Windows 10? I'd like to make a clean install but I'm afraid of doing so before my I get my license and not be able to roll back to Win7 if I can't activate it.

I have been trying to update for a long time now. But the final upgrade wit keeps on saying : There's a problem please try again later. I have windows 7 (it's compatible to upgrade) and it's not a pirated version.

[URL] .... I have enclosed a gif showing my problem, as the window opens fine, but when I hit 'Ok, let's continue', it'll just say 'Working on it..' and then promptly close. I've restarted my computer several times to no avail. A couple of days I ago I activated it and it worked fine until I cancelled the download.

The other day my brother came to me with his laptop saying it had stopped working. It couldn't run. It would start loading Windows 7 then freeze... and never resume. I tried the repair disks, but they didn't work. Since we were already planning on upgrading it to Windows 10 I decided to kill two birds with one stone. After installing Windows 10 with a full reset it had the same problem as before, when loading Windows it froze and never resumed.
I've formatted the drive multiple times and, despite my best efforts, wasn't able to fix the drive. It's at the point where it begins booting the computer then goes to a orange and white striped screen.

So I recently built my PC and had ordered Windows 8.1, but it said that it was upgradeable to Windows 10. So I started the computer up after completion, then installed windows. When I got to the desktop it asked me if I wanted to upgrade to Windows 10. I said no because I wanted to research and see if it was stable enough. So today I decided to try it, but found out that I can no longer upgrade.
