Posting to share my experience since I’ve seen people reporting issues with some of these in the past.
I ordered a code and it activated on my pc without issues. Code came about 14 hours after the order was placed.
I ordered a second for another pc, and I’m hoping that it goes as smoothly as the first one.
I bought this, tried entering it, and it said the code has been used before.
It says “32 OR 64 bit” i guess the company chooses. I ordered this for a 64 bit system and it loaded 32 bit. I have comtacted “Custimer Service” through email, but th responses are from a bot, so no help. Good luck.
No. YOU decide. Assuming you get a valid key in the first place (lots of complaints from past sales here on Woot of getting invalid codes), the key works for either 32-bit or 64-bit. If you’re installing Windows 10 from scratch, there should have been an option to select 32 or 64 bit. However, if you’re upgrading over an older Windows 7 or Windows 8, then it will automatically install the same “bit” version of Win 10 as the previous Windows 7 or 8 version. Or if you’re upgrading from Win 10 Home to Pro, and Home was 32-bit, then it’ll stay 32-bit. (But you can always wipe the hard drive and reinstall Windows 10 from scratch and then be sure to install the 64-bit version.
Also note, Windows 11 does NOT have a 32-bit version. If you upgrade from Windows 10, and your Windows 10 is 32-bit, it will install Windows 11 64-bit.
Note that Windows 10 official end of life is October 2025, so about a year and half from now. Upgrading to Windows 11 is free though, again assuming you actually get a valid Windows 10 code.
Did you follow the linked instructions for installation?
I am going to take another short this wekend. Thank you clhug for your help. Ill try backing up ( hope i get it all HA) and try a frea sh install.
