Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Upgrade

Hi all

I upgraded yesterday to Windows 10 from Win7 Pro 32-bit edition. As I have a quad core, I should have been running the 64-bit version (so I am told) to get the most out of my machine.

My question is this - is there a 'dummies' way of changing the upgraded 32-bit to 64-bit version? Or should I get the disc and do a clean install instead? So far I am liking Win10 Pro very much

Cheers all

There is no way to install 64 bit over 32 bit. You have to do a clean install.

You would have to make sure you have a 64 bit processor.

Here's an article on the topic: http://www.intowindows.com/upgrade-to-windows-10-64-bit-from-windows-78-1-32/
