Windows 10 Pro

[Kewaninou]

So, I'm going to build a new PC and I wanted to ask,

 

if I transfert my windows 10 Pro account using my Microsoft account (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/20530/windows-10-reactivating-after-hardware-change) will it keep the 32-bit OS ?

 

What I want to say is that, if I use my old Windows 10 Pro 32-Bit and reactivate it on my new computer, will it stay at 32-bit or can I do something to make it 64-Bit. If I can how ?

 

First time building and installing a new computer so I don't really know a lot about it ?

 

Thanks for the answers !

It will stay 32-Bit, you'll need a new key and new install to go 64-Bit

Really?

I could have sworn they were different keys.

Oh well, guess you don't then

The same key can be used for both 32bit or 64bit, just that you do not run both at the same time. If you run both at the same time, then you will need a new key. Retail packages comes with both 32bit and 64bit and with just 1 product key.

So just to be sure, is it okay if I use the Microsoft account to transfert Windows 10 or can I directly type my old key ?
