32 to 64 bits
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? |

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) HTH, Paul |

You could download the 64-bit ISO from Micro$oft he https://www.microsoft.com/en-hk/soft...load/windows10 If you change the user agent string of your browser to Linux, you could access the ISO links directly. -- @~@ Remain silent!
