Can't install windows

[diesirae]

So, i tried updating my windows from 8.1 32-bit to 10 64-bit, got the media creation tool, made the usb, and went to install it, everything was going fine until ~40% of preparing to install, it gave me the error 0x8007025d, so i tried again, same thing, decided to search the error on google, everything is working fine (HDD, RAM, USB Stick). After trying a few more things i gave up and tried booting back normally, except it now was stuck in repair windows loop, tried chkdsk but nothing, gave up again and just decided to format the disk, still got the same error, did the whole diskpart clean thing and it still didn't work. Im pretty sure my pc supports 64-bit but just to be sure im going to try and install a 32-bit windows tomorrow, can't do it rn for obvious reasons, if anyone knows a way to fix the error it would be appreciated (old pc, has an AMD A6 3500, an ASUS F1A55-M LE rev1.0 i believe and one stick of 8 gb DDR3)

It is 64-bit, but your motherboard doesn't have Windows 10 drivers.

What you could do is install Windows 8.1 64-bit to use all of your 8GB of RAM, since 32-bit OS's will limit you to 3.5GB of RAM.

I don't think it's even possible to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit. However I am far from sure on the matter.

 

In my experience if you want to change architectures like that you'll need to format, and start from scratch.

 

So: backups backups backups - make sure everything is backed up, and then try to format the drive.

I formatted the disk after a few tries and it still was giving the same error, both through the format option in the select partition to install and diskpart clean
