[Raven1976]

I have a AMD 6300  3.50ghz  my motherboard is  MSI 760gma-p34(fx)I checked online showed 64bit is supposed. I was trying to install Windows 10 Pro and it was unable because I have 32 bit. Is it a way I can change that so I can install Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.most of the games I want to play is in 64bit

you can just upgrade bit version is not like upgrade form home to pro. some parts of the OS needs to be over ritten also its about 5GB bigger than 32bit windows  if its attive you can just make boote bool usb with media creaton tool. and install (make sure you made a back of all the importent stuff ) also how mucht ram is installed if you dont have more than 4GB its not wurf it becas 64bit will use more ram even wen ideling

Don't start the installation of Windows 10 64-bit from within Windows 10 32-bit.  You have to boot the Windows 64-bit USB or disk and then start the clean install from there.

Also a 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade is not possible in Windows going back to Windows Vista.  This is not an SKU or edition upgrade like going from Windows 10 Home to Pro or Windows 7 Home Basic to Windows 7 Pro or Windows 8 to Windows 8.1.

Since I have Windows 7 it's possible to upgrade Windows 10 Pro 64-bit. Just go into the BIOS and change to USB first boot

As long as Windows 7 is 64-bit. It should not be a problem.  Problem starts when you have a Windows 7 32-bit and you literally instead of figuratively upgrade it to Windows 10 64-bit.
