Is it possible to upgrade from Windows 10 32-bit to Windows 10 64-Bit? If it is than how?

I think you will have to reset your computer and reinstall windows.

Ok Thanks, I just wanted to know if it was possible before I spent hours looking it up.

If you do you lose all of your data, you just need to reinstall windows from USB, and select 64 bit.

As @Hydraxiler32 stated, the only way to "upgrade" from 32 to 64 bit Windows is to perform a clean install.

You will be able to keep your data, of course, but all the programs and apps will need to be reinstalled.

Desktop: KiRaShi-Intel-2022 (i5-12600K, 5060 Ti) Mobile: Moto Razr 50 Ultra (Razr+ 2024) | 30GB CAN+US+MEX $30/month
Laptop: Lenovo Yoga 7i (16") 82UF0015US (i7-12700H, 16GB/2TB RAM/SSD, A370M GPU) Tablet: Lenovo Tab Plus (256GB)
Camera: Canon M6 Mark II | Canon Rebel T1i (500D) | Canon SX280 Music: Spotify Premium (CIRCA '08)

First of all, does you computer support 64-bit Windows?

 

It would need to be some really basic netbook for not having enough RAM for 64bit.

What PC is it? Or just tell which CPU and how much RAM.

It is a Intel Pentium D CPU 2.8GHz with 4gb of ram

CPU supports 64bit, RAM is ok for it. Like said earlier in thread, you need to do full reinstall to get 64bit working. Key will work no matter which version you have.
