Hey! I've tested out the Windows 10 Technical Preview for a few weeks now, and I recently noticed that I was running the 32-bit version. Earlier today, I decided to download Windows 8.1 as I got tired of the technical preview, and wanted to go back to my old OS, which was 64-bit Windows 8.1. During the setup I got an error telling me that my system couldn't run a 64-bit Windows, even though I know for a fact it can.
After a while, I got tired of the issues, and decided to buy Windows 8, in hope that it would fix my issue. During the installation of Windows 8.1 I expected it to download the 64-bit version, or atleast give me an option to choose it, as that's what I usually runs, but it didn't. I've still got the 32 bit version.
I've basically been searching for the last hours, trying to find a solution or answer to this, but I haven't found any that directly answers my question: How can install my OS as a 64-bit, and not 32-bit?
