how to upgrade a laptop running 32 bit windows 10 on internal HDD to 64 bit windows 10 on internal SSD without data loss.
I am trying to upgrade my step Fathers laptop I have purchased 8gb of compatible ram and a 2tb compatible SSD, I have also purchased a usb 3.0 to sata data cable to help with the process.
I have used cloning software in the past and know how to do that part but upgrading the os from 32 bit to 64 bit without data loss is where I am getting lost.
Do I have to clone the drive then go through the process of upgrading the OS or is there a simpler way to complete the process in less steps
Thanks for any help
