Windows 10 installation problem!

[An angry badger]

I have built a new PC and have installed windows 10, when downloading i made sure that i selected the 64-bit version however when i go into system type it says i have installed the 32-bit version. I have tried this twice now and have got the same result. Has anyone else had this problem? If so how do you fix it?

just a controlling question: do you actually have a 64 bits processor?

 

also, please make sure you did not make the mistake of thinking X86 == 64 bits, as you need X64 although the number is lower, (I still think this confusing)

I have a 64-bit proccessor, next to the 32-bit operating system it says x64 proccessor

I have checked and have definitely selected the 64-bit version

what does your win7/8.1 say, was it 32 or 64 bits?
