    Apologies if this has already been asked, but I've not been able to find an answer.

    I originally installed a 32-bit version of Wins7 Ultimate under Parallels 10 on my Core i5 Mac. After recent upgrades I now have Parallels 11 installed and now am planning on the free upgrade to Windows 10 Pro. As my hardware is 64-bit capable I was hoping it was possible to install the 64-bit Win10 version instead of the 32-bit version. Is this possible?

    Thank you for your assistance.

    Hello Darran, You'll need to perform a clean install to get to the 64-bit version of Windows 10 from the 32-bit one. There's no upgrade path. Please refer to this article.
