Is There Any Way to Change From 32Bit To 64Bit?
I understand this is a bold request but is there any way? I can't play PUBG or Fallout 4 :(

What is your current Operating System, and do you have the original install disks / info? Windows 7 comes in 32 and 64 bit versions, and you should easily be able to change that feature if you have the disks.

It would then rely on your hardware, I mean if it's hella old there's no point at all in trying that anyway.

I am running Windows 7, 32bit (of course) with 3GB of RAM.
(I know my PC sucks.)

I do not have the install disks, but I believe there are ways to buy them, is that correct?

Why make a new thread? Anyway, make sure your processor can do 64bit. You can use this program to do that: https://www.grc.com/securable.htm

Yeah, 3 gb of ram? That's not going to run squat.

You should probably look into getting better hardware before improving your OS. I'd still recommend Windows 7 / 64 bit.

Since your PC is running 32bit Windows I highly doubt it will run those games playable.

I even doubt 64bit Windows would run usable at all.


But you can try installing Windows 10 64bit and see how it runs. No need to buy a key, just create a bootable flashdrive with the Media Creation Tools which you can download from the Microsoft website. When it ask for a key during the installation select he the "I don't have a key" option at the bottom of the window.

Do of course make sure you have a backup of all your important data pictures, documents etc.. because all data will be deleted.
