Will 64-bit Windows 7 Professional SP1 upgrade to 64-bit Windows 10 Professional?

All of Microsoft's 64 bit versions of Windows: XP Professional x64, Vista 64 bit, Windows 7 64 bit, Windows 8/8.1 64 bit and Windows 10 64 bit are full 64 bit operating systems.

They do include 32 bit components in addition to 64 bit versions for compatibility.

64 bit is not about just having it be 64 bit, its about being able to take advantage of the hardware. A 64 bit operating system does just that by being able to address more than 4 GBs of RAM.

Windows 10 64 bit comes in handy when you need to address at least 4 GBs or more of RAM. Windows 10 32 bit can utilize up to 3.2 GBs of RAM. Because the memory address space is much larger for 64 bit Windows, that means, you need twice as much memory than
32 bit Windows to accomplish some of the same task, but you are able to do so much more, you can have more applications open, do things like run an Antivirus scan in the background without it affecting your system performance. Windows 10 64 bit is more secure
too, malicious code cannot easily infiltrate it, drivers are more reliable since they must be signed before they can work with 64 bit Windows 10.

 

Installing an Upgrade Version of Windows 7 64 bit over XP 32 bit


You can upgrade XP Pro 32-bit to Windows 7 Pro 32-bit(you don't need XP installed) and then do the free upgrade from Windows 7 Pro 32-bit to Windows 10 Pro 32-bit. Make sure each OS is activated before going to the next step. If you want to use the 64-bit version of 10, you can now do a refresh reinstall of Windows 10 Pro 64-bit by booting from the install DVD/USB flash drive you made with the Media Creation Tool. Make sure 10 is activated after the reinstall.

Using the 64-bit version of Windows 7 Pro should also work, but I'd do a clean install of 10 Pro 64-bit either way. It's not clear from your post what you have. Do you have both an upgrade version of Windows 7 32-bit and an OEM version of Windows 7 64-bit? If so you're better off upgrading the upgrade version of 7 to 10 because you'll be under Retail licensing for 10 rather than OEM licensing. Retail licensing will allow you to move your copy of Windows 10 to another computer. OEM is tied to the machine forever.
