Hi, the friend's old PC only has a 32-bit W7 processor and 4GB RAM. You can upgrade it to a 64-bit W10, but you’ll need to visit a repair shop or tech store.

If your processor is 64-bit capable, you might upgrade to Windows 10, though it’s likely it will install the 32-bit edition since that’s what’s available now. Once installed, you can format your PC and perform a clean installation of the 64-bit version. Always verify that your processor supports 64-bit before proceeding. The amount of RAM isn’t a clear factor—check the CPU specifications online to confirm.

Upgrade limitations apply. Proceed with a clean installation of Windows 7 64 bit and then upgrade to Windows 10 64 bit.

I'll give it a shot. The CPU is Core 2 Duo E7500, which means it should be compatible with x64.

It seems @kameshss might be correct. With Win10's activation process, it could make more sense to start with a 64-bit version of Win7 and then upgrade later. It's safer to do this order rather than trying to reinstall everything from scratch. Obtain a 64-bit ISO for Win7, install and activate it properly, and then move to upgrading to Win10.
