should i upgrade to windows 10 64bit and 4gb ram from 2gb ram?

[apoorv_jain11]

hello everyone,

My name is Apoorv Jain, and i'm from India. I bought an indegenous brand windows tablet named Croma CRXT1177. It's a 10.1 inch windows tablet. I basically bought it for business accounting.
It came with windows 8.1 32 bit pre-installed. Today, i upgraded it to windows 10 home activated digitally.
It's configuration is:
10.1 inch display
intel atom 3735d bay trail t processor
2gb ram
intel hd graphics
32gb rom

In the my computer properties, it shows 32 bit operating system, x64 based processor.


So, i wanted to know that how to upgrade from 32 bit os to 64bit os?
Tablet has 2gb ram, will it be enough for 64 bit os?
If not enough, so can i upgrade the ram to 4gb? (considering the processor)?

please help. please. thanks.

You cant "upgrade" from 32bit to 64 bit OS.. it would need a complete reinstall of windows.

I THINK you may be OK to go to 64 bit fro licensing perspective.. if I recall - MS allow this as part of the "free upgrade to win 10" promotion, but it will need a complete reinstall of the OS. Not sure if the MS Win 10 installer can manage that.. but you will need to make sure you have backups of your data and software keys etc to reinstall apps afterwards.

May be someone else can fill in the blanks of my reply.

You can not upgrade the tablet's RAM as it is soldered right to the PCB. To upgrade (well not really upgrade but to install it) to 64 bits you would need a 64 bit version of windows on a USB stick or micro SD card (depending on what your tablet supports) and then find out how to install it on you tablet (you would need to access the boot settings to force it to boot from the USB stick or micro SD card which I am not sure if you can). You would loose all your stuff on it if you don't back it up. It is probably not worth switching unless you need 64bit windows to run certain applications. As far the ram only being 2GB is another reason not to upgrade to 64bit.

if their is expansion or access for you to get to the ram chips then yeah you can probably upgrade the ram...if not ...then not......yeah go to Microsoft website an install an download 64bit windows os for you tablet....not that it will make much difference if you cant change or upgrade the ram!

there are no tablets out there that will allow you to upgrade the ram. so even if you were able to upgrade to the 64gb version you would just be making your tablet slower because of the 2GB of ram
