“Free Windows 10 Upgrade When attempting to download Windows 10, it asks me if I want to install the 32 bit version or the 64 bit version? I read that newer computers should download the 64 bit version. Is this correct? I just received this laptop and it is brand new. If anyone can help me out, I would really appreciate it.”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.64
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Select 64 bits! Have a 32 GB flash drive, or external hard drive plug to the usb port. Windows will tell you that it does not have enough memory, it will give you the option to point it to the USB, then click "refresh".
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The specs say HP Stream is running 64-bit Windows/8.1 prior to upgrade. Right-click on "This PC" (in Windows file explorer), check properties or about to see CPU type or OS architecture. If 64-bit is installed, upgrade to 64-bit. For a computer with 32-bit installed, you'd probably want to stick with 32-bit. I'd expect 64-bit would not install over 32-bit unless it is compatible hardware, Microsoft is pretty good about those checks. Note that other computers with Intel i3, i5, i7 and "Core 2 Duo" processors are 64-bit. Intel Atom processors other than this N2840 are 32-bit. Intel "Core Duo" is 32-bit. AMD A4 through AMD A10 are 64-bit.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Id suggest getting the 32 bit, if you look up online the differences between 32 & 64 youll find out you wont want to be running 64bit on this laptop
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I had the same issue and just ended up taking it to my nearest Microsoft store, to have them do. They told me it's usually a pain for customers to do it. I had spent two days trying to do the upgrade before I got upset. But I believe it's the 64 they installed for me.
