Windwos 7 32bit to Windwos 10 64bit?

[Mohammed_Khalid]

I do have the .iso file downloaded (media creation tool refused to work). I have a flash drive (but no DVD). How do I go about performing a clean installation?
My CPU DOES support x64.

Is there any way were I can directly switch from Windows 7 32bit to Windows 10 64bit (with or without formatting) without having to use a DVD?

Suppose to be able to install from the media creating tool if you are using the same system.

As a precaution will always suggest that you back up personal data.

I wasn’t able to download the media creation tool. Don’t know why though! Regardless, I used a tool called Rufus (a recommendation from another forum) and now I’m confused on whether I need a CD drive to perform the clean installation or am I good to go with the USB drive!

[Rustys]

Good with the USB drive just follow the instructions to create the USB drive.

Did you try making using the media writer in another Windows 7 or higher system to write the USB?

I didn’t. What is that?

If your CPU does not support x64 version, all you’ll get is a BSOD.

It DOES. I checked!

Then download the x64 version from the link I posted and you’re good to go.

But I do have the .iso file for Windows 10 x64 already downloaded. Do I need to do it again?

Download the tool that allows you to create a bootable USB stick.

It is an .exe file that will format a USB stick and download the version of W10 that you wish.

I got a “Insufficient system resources exist to complete the requested service” error. I had to download it from my mobile device as it refused to download on PC

Did you download the 32 bit version of the tool? That error means you’re likely trying to run a 64-bit version of the EXE which won’t work on a 32-bit OS.

Which link are you selecting from the download page?
Are you transferring the file to the computer to complete the install?

There were no “32bit/64bit” options on the download page. I just downloaded it!

[Mohammed_Khalid]

There were no download options on the page. Just one “download media creation” tool option. Yes, I did transform the file from my mobile device to my PC for installation as the download button wasn’t clickable on my PC (don’t know why though!).
Could the boot menu remotely be related to wrong date and time as I just discovered my clock was behind?

This is the Speccy link
