Question [Urgent] 32Bit to 64Bit without a flash drive/disk?

[ceriumin]

My friend needs help from me upgrading to 64bit but what slows me down is that he does not have access to a flash drive and cant buy one. He does not care about his files whatsoever and I recommended him to wipe his operating system on his hard drive and then go onto his siblings computer and install windows 10 installation media from there. Is it ok if i do this or is there another way to upgrade to 64bit without any other device? Yes his computer is 64bit compatible so don't ask.

No, you'll need a 8GB flash drive, or a DVD and DVD drive.
32bit to 64bit is a full wipe and reinstall, not a simple 'upgrade.

Yes i know that it is a full wipe but will it still be possible if i wiped the hard drive and handed a usb sata cable into another computer, installed the media and plugged the hard drive iback in to his computer to install?

No.
You need the flash drive or DVD to boot from.
Then you do the install on the HDD.

You don't have a flash drive laying around you could loan him?
