My PC has Windows 10 Pro 32 bit which is validated with a key.
If I upgrade to 64 bit will I need another key?
No.
Doing a *clean* install, it will use exactly
the same key it is using right now.
The key is valid for either 32 bit or 64 bit
for a given trim level of OS.
So if you did a Win7SP1 Pro to Win10 Pro upgrade,
the license key used, works for 32 bit or 64 bit.
I could have done it this way:
free upgrade install
Win7SP1 Pro 32bit ------------------------------ Win10 Pro 32bit
preserves trim and bitness
followed by:
Win10 Pro 64 bit *clean* install (uses the same key, by Digital Entitlement)
