Why would I want to pre "register" Windows 10 anyway?

Not known, only hypothesized by those who don't know. If you get Win10 you can't stop updates. Not true - only W10 Core (Home) has the limitation. If I were to upgrade from my seven weeks old Windows 8.1 Home, which W10 would I get? Yours would be the first case... W8.1 Home/Core -- W10 Home/Core (with fully automated updates) W8.1 Pro -- W10 Pro (some token control of updates) OEM (Dell/HP/Acer) machines tend to come with "Home". For example, my Acer laptop comes with Win7 Home Premium, and that case would be W7 SP1 Home Premium -- W10 Home/Core (with fully automated updates) If at the very second, I was to "factory restore" the Acer to W7 original version, I would need to install SP1, do all the Windows Updates, install '583 update, then when the notification is present, get my W10 Home/Core download. I do not mention the x32 or x64 part, because that part must be preserved during the update. Yours is x64, and the new W10 Home/Core would also be x64. You cannot mix them, and take an x32 to x64 or an x64 to x32, not with a simple upgrade installation. HTH, Paul |
