New Win10 Computer OS Question
This is a complicated question (at least for me.) I've been using Windows, almost every version since 3.1 (I skipped Vista.) Last year in April my Win7 desktop computer suffered a shorted motherboard. I knew I had to upgrade to win10 soon, but was watching closely the problems others were having (with 10.) I was out of work getting ready to retire. A friend gave me his old Win7 x32 computer which I'm using (I retired this past February.) I had updated the x32 computer to win10 before the "free upgrade" period ended.
So now I can build a new x64 machine, but what are my options on an OS? I can build the machine and install my win7 SSD I guess, but since I had a valid win10 install (though it is 32 bit) I was wondering if there's any options for me to get to win10 x64 without buying a new one (I am on a tight fixed budget.)
I attempted to contact Microsoft and got the virtual assistant and that was useless. Does anyone have some advice concerning my situation ?
