Downloading 32 bit into 64 bit pc

No you do not need a separate product code, your digital licence covers either edition of Windows 10

Please note you cannot upgrade from the 32bit version to the 64bit version it will require a clean installation of Windows 10

to download the Media Creation Tool (Click on Download Tool Now), with that you can download the latest Windows 10 ISO (Select Create Installation Media for Another PC), you can create a bootable USB flash drive (min 4GB) using that tool or create the ISO file which you can later burn to DVD

Then, Boot your PC from the Installation Media you just created (change Boot Order in your BIOS)

Since you previously had Windows 10 installed and activated on that PC during the installation process skip the steps which ask for a product key and select the option 'I am Reinstalling Windows 10 on this PC', and activation will not be an issue, your PC will have a digital entitlement stored on the Microsoft Activation Servers

No need for an activation code:

Switching to Windows 10 64 bit is free, you don't have to pay for it. As long as you have a qualifying Windows 7 or 8 or Windows 10 license, you are entitled to use it.
Switching requires that you perform a new installation, that means files, applications and settings will be deleted.
You will have to reinstall applications and native 64 bit drivers.

Please answer ALL of the following [admittedly tedious] diagnostic questions by number, preferably without quoting my post:

1. When (approx. date) did you purchase the computer?

2a. Did the computer come with Win10 bit preinstalled, did you do a clean install of Win10 bit, or did you upgrade a Win7 computer or a Win computer [<=PICK ONE!] to Win10 bit?

2b. How have you determined that the computer hardware is compatible with Win10 bit?

3. Who manufactured the computer (e.g., Dell; HP; Acer; Lenovo; ASUS)?

4. Has a Norton application or a McAfee application EVER been installed on the computer since you bought it?

5. Have you ever run the Norton Removal Tool and/or the McAfee Consumer Products Removal Tool?

6. What Version & OS Build of Windows 10 is currently installed?

• Press & hold the Windows Key and press the R key. In the RUN dialog, type WINVER and press the Enter key.

Marking one or more replies as ANSWER at any point will officially close (end) your thread, whether your problems have been resolved or not. HELPFUL votes very much appreciated at anytime. Thank you.

You can use the same key but no need to enter one as the license is already tied to the OS. Choose to do this later when prompted.
