A:AnswerCheck with the manufacturer to verify your model has Windows 10 drivers. If it does, you should be good to go. I had an HP non-touch I wanted to upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. Never could get all the drivers to work and eventually just returned it. I would say, get a free trial of Windows 10 and test it out. Whatever path you take, make sure you backup your image as is in case you need to restore.
A:AnswerTo many variables not given to be 100%. Every model/hardware is different. Vista to xp is a downgrade. Vista to windows 10 is an upgrade. Microsoft has a free windows 10 compatibility check. Start there. If it says yes it’s compatible you can upgrade or fresh install.

A:AnswerYes it would do that but it seems a bit silly of a plan. Thee are easier way to remove the bloatware. It can be done manually or there are tools to do it. But if $'s are no an issue it would work. However Microsoft does include some games and advertising type links that are included but not installed unless you click on them. They are easy to just delete.
A:Answer--What is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows?
The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.
--How can I tell if my computer is running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version of Windows?
To find out if your computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following:
Open System by clicking the Start button The Start button, right-clicking Computer, and then clicking Properties.
Under System, you can view the system type.
--Which version of Windows should I install: the 32-bit version or the 64-bit version?
To install a 64-bit version of Windows, you need a CPU that's capable of running a 64-bit version of Windows. The benefits of using a 64-bit operating system are most apparent when you have a large amount of random access memory (RAM) installed on your computer, typically 4 GB of RAM or more. In such cases, because a 64-bit operating system can handle large amounts of memory more efficiently than a 32-bit operating system, a 64-bit system can be more responsive when running several programs at the same time and switching between them frequently.
--How do I tell if my computer can run a 64-bit version of Windows?
To run a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer must have a 64-bit-capable processor. To find out if your processor is 64-bit-capable, do the following:
Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button The Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools.
Click View and print detailed performance and system information.
In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type, and whether or not you can run a 64-bit version of Windows under 64-bit capable. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.)
