I have a PC which can support 64 bit OS . But I have installed 32bit Windows 10 on it . When I Install 64 bit windows 10 on it , it has a problem saying - Windows can not be installed to this disk the selected disk has an MBR partition table on EFI systems, windows can only be installed to GPT disks.

What to do . Please tell any way in which i don't have to wipe out my data .

I found out the best way !!!!!! Just go to Bios settings . Change boot mode from UEFI to Legacy .... Thats it . I have got windows 10 64 bit now on my pc 😀
As popatim said, boot into 32 bit Windows and copy everything you care about onto a back up disk.
Then during the Windows 10 64 install, you need to delete all your partitions and let Windows recreate them. It should create GPT partition and install without you having to do anything.

I have The Legacy already enabled, and also tried to format the C drive and creating a new partition, but everything failed 🙁

What other options do i have?
