What are the steps to upgrade a 32-bit version to a 64-bit version of Windows?

There is no such thing as Windows Server 2007 or Windows Server 2010.
No matter what version you are actually meaning you won't be able to do in place upgrade. 32-bit to 64-bit aren't supported so you will need a clean install.
Also make sure your hardware support 64-bit before upgrading.
If the upgrade is same bit you must check what version your version can upgrade to if you don't want a clean install.
Upgrading a server isn't always straight forward, you should confront IT Tech's in your business as you might have running software or data on it.
If everything is in place the upgrade it self is no problem pulling off.

∙ 12y agoIf your computer came with 32-bit windows installed then 64-bit won't work for you. If 32-bit came with it then it means that your processor can only handle 32-bit operating systems. 32-bit os's are usually smaller files that are easier on a lower end processor

∙ 8y agoFirst thing - you need to find out if your hardware and operating system supports it. A 64-bit processor will be any processor that's typically at least dual-core. For operating systems, a copy of Windows will usually specify which version it will be (e.g. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit).
It's also worth noting that even if your entire system is decked out in 64-bit, your applications (programs) may not necessarily be running in 64-bit as most are still written in 32-bit formats as where usually most 64-bit versions of modern applications are specified to be able to take advantage of more RAM.

∙ 12y agoThere is no Windows upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit. In order to use the 64-bit version, your computer must be able to run 64-bit software.

Why won't iTunes open after just installing iTunes version 10?
Did you install a 32bit version on a 64bit machine. If it says you need a 64bit copy when you install then you do. If you were just updating then redownload and reinstall.
