Want to upgrade to 64-bit Win10; Device Manager says x86

[spinblade]

Hi. I have Windows 10 Pro 32 bit installed on my computer and want to upgrade to 64 bit. When checking system type in the System dialogue, I get "32-bit Operating System, x64-based processor," which tells me I should be okay for upgrading to 64-bit Windows 10. However, in Device Manager, under the Computer dropdown, I notice I get "ACPI x86-based PC". Just wanted to know if that info from Device Manager is a cause for concern in terms of upgrading, as the System window is telling me one thing but Device Manager is telling me something else.

Thanks.

Pretty much every computer made in the past 15 years has been 64-bit compatible. Device manager is just saying that it's running 32-bit (x86).

Right.
A 64bit processor, and 32bit OS installed.

Unfortunately, changing to the 64bit OS is a full wipe and reinstall.
Not simply an "upgrade".

Thanks. Yeah, I thought so. But just wanted to be sure.
