If you attempt the download from a 32-bit system you will get the 32-bit version. Same goes for 64-bit.

I'm downloading that tool from a 64 bit system but
I got that file
mediacreationtool.exe
not
mediacreationtool64.exe

Use the "For another computer" option.

(edit) both versions are available from the creation tool, the limitation is that you cannot SWITCH versions with the tool

I don't mean the windows 10 64 bit version
I mean
the mediacreationtool 64 bit version

Either version can be made from the same tool, I just did 8 machines mix of 32 and 64 bit from the same USB stick.

right, the media creation tool is designed to run on a 32 or 64 bit system. hence the different version to download.

once you have the tool running (either 32 or 64 bit) it will allow you download any version of win 10 you need. i grabbed both numerous version of win 10 one after another from the same pc no problem. the creation tool just needs to be the right one to run on the system you are using at the moment.

personally i just grabbed the "full" version of both win 10 home and pro. this contains bot the 32 and 64 bit version in the same installer. it'l adjust during set-up for you.

You run the tool and it lets you select 32 or 64 bit.
