If you reinstall, make sure that you start the boot disk (DVD/USB stick) with F11 as UEFI DVD/USB stick. This will also format the C:\ drive as GPT. ]]> Wed, 05 Feb 2020 21:19:03 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13563&PID=72573&title=cant-install-64bit-w10-on-my-32bit-os#72573 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13563&PID=72569&title=cant-install-64bit-w10-on-my-32bit-os#72569 Author: Xaltar

Exactly. Most people don't realize this but the 32 and 64 bit versions are actually
different operating systems, or at least different enough that they are not cross
compatible. ]]> Wed, 05 Feb 2020 19:07:52 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13563&PID=72569&title=cant-install-64bit-w10-on-my-32bit-os#72569 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13563&PID=72565&title=cant-install-64bit-w10-on-my-32bit-os#72565 Author: Reset

Hi I recently changed my mobo and processor on my pc. I am having trouble changing os from 32bit to 64bit. I have tried the media creation tool with USB, iso,and everything I know of. My specs say 32 bit os/ 64 bit processor so I assume I can update it.
My new mobo is a ASRock B450M PRO4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
My new processor is a AMD Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Processor. Someone please help]]> Fri, 31 Jan 2020 15:02:17 +0000 https://forum.asrock.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=13563&PID=72406&title=cant-install-64bit-w10-on-my-32bit-os#72406
