I don't know how you did the upgrade. When you upgraded you it should have been upgraded to the 64bit version and not the 32bit version. Are you sure you were upgraded to a 32bit version of Win 10?

Aurondium,
Assuming for unknown reason you do end up with a 32-bit version.
If you still want a 64-bit version, you will have to do a Clean Install.
Have a look at this tutorial
https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/1...n-install.html
The tutorial is quite "involving".
Please feel free to ask questions to make sure you understand correctly instead of "assuming" or guessing what it means.
Aurondium,
Should you decide to give Clean Install a go, use tech Bench to download the iso file.

Scroll down and locate Select Edition
click the pointer and select Windows 10 > Confirm
next window is to select Language > select the one the computing is now using > Confirm
next windows is to select 32-bit or 64-bit > select 64-bit > Confirm.
Then follow the prompts to download the iso file.
Then use the tutorial posted above and do a Clean Install.
I would think if the user downloads the CORRECT Windows bit version 32 vs 64 Windows will install it. Maybe the user only grabbed a 32 bit version by mistake. I still think if he downloads a Windows 64 bit Home version from Tech Bench it will install on his computer just fine, without doing a clean install.
We should ask him to check his version and report back Winver from dos prompt admin.
I'm not sure who you are answering about the 32 to 64 & back again. I did notice that my Specs showed me on Win10, I signed up when I still had Win10 but as I posted I went back to 7. I was running 64Bit in both & intend to continue with 64Bit. Anyway thank you all for you input & I will try the upgrade method to Win10 and then & only then will I re-format and do a clean install if the upgrade doesn't work smoothly. Again this forum does the best job of getting a Ton of replies to a question, happy I stumbled onto it. I went to Google typing in forums Win10 & the 1st link was this forum.
