Cannot install 64 bit os

Go to solution Solved by Ashleyyyy,

you need to do a clean install. 

 

the hardware you have is capable of running a 64-bit OS so there are no problems there. 

I have been trying to install windows 7/10 64 bit os but I am unable to install 64 bit os in my PC. I have been using 32 bit os since 6 years will that affect my processor config.

My pc configuration

Core i3 2120

Ddr3 4gb 1300mhz

HDD 1tb 7000rpm 

gigabyte GA-h61m-ds2 ver4.0

Hey there. Are you trying to run a 64-bit installer on a 32-bit OS? If so, I don't that's going to work...

 

If you'd like to install Windows 10 64-bit on your 32-bit OS, you might need to do a clean installation:

Spoiler

Microsoft has a Download Windows 10 guide on their site, follow the instructions under "Using the tool to create installation media to install Windows 10 on a different PC." You'll need a spare 8-ish GB USB stick (a DVD works too, but it'll be awfully slow).

 

When the installer asks you "Which type of installation do you want?", select "Custom: Install Windows Only (Advanced)", not "Upgrade: Install Windows and Keep Files...".

A full 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade guide is also available on Windows Central.
