Hi,
No, upgrading from 32 to 64-bit is not supported. Do a clean install.

It is an upgrade to the current system so it would be 32 bit. After you upgrade and activate you can then do a clean install and change to 64 bit. If you do not have more than 4 Gb ram it is not worth changing

Hi Irudhayaraj,
If your Windows 7 is 32bit, when you upgrade to Windows 10, it will be 32bit too.
If you want to install Windows 10 64bit, you may need to perform a clean install.
