Can I upgrade from Windows 7 Home basic 32 bit to Windows 10 Home 64 bit?

Question

Hello!

I have Windows 7 Home basic 32 bit in Russian with DVD disc (actually Windows 7 Домашняя базовая 32-разрядная версия, для распространения и активации только на территории России, DVD-диск в комплекте). My computer is compatible with 64 bit and has 24 gig's of ram installed.

Tell me, please, can I upgrade it to Windows 10 Home (or Windows 10 Домашня)?

If you need more information, feel free to ask me.

Sorry for my English, I'm not native speaker.

Hi,

You can upgrade from Windows 7 Home 32-bit to a Windows 10 Home 32-bit version, but you cannot go from 32-bit to 64-bit.

For upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10, you can refer to the below link:

Also something here might help:
Windows 10 is still free to download. Here's how to get the upgrade

Hello,

You can only upgrade Windows 7 Home 32-bit to Windows 10 Home 32-bit.

To get Windows 10 Home 64-bit, you need to make clean install, as there is no direct upgrade path to convert 32-bit installation into 64-bit.

Hope this helps!
