So the holidays are coming so I would like to play games that support 32-Bit OS. Only problem is most of the games I want to play only supports 64-Bit. So how can I upgrade my 32-Bit OS. I need a cheap option but I am willing to spend more then I intend to.

Specs:

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q6600 @ 2.40GHz
Video Card: AMD Radeon (TM) R9 200 Series
Memory: 3.0 GB
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Edition Service Pack 1 (build 7601), 32-bit

There's no upgrade path :( . The only option is to do a clean install of a 64- bit Windows 7, You can get it either Home, Home Premium, or Pro. You can get the cheapest, which is the 64-bit pro version, but it costs 141 dollars. This is the cheapest option if you want 64 bit win 7. However, there are cheaper options like 64 bit windows 10, which is 90$. Or 64-bit Windows 8.1, which is also 90$. But you need to check if your PC is 64-bit capable. All you need to do is go to the file explorer, and then right click "This PC" and then select Properties. After that, you'll see the "System" tab. Then, below it, in system type, it should say that your system is 32 bit, but that your processor is x64-based. If it's not, sorry my friend, you'll need to change your processor to a x64-based one.

I hope this helped! :)

Well my system doesn't say anything about its being x64-based but I did check and it does say that it supports 64-bit operating system. Okay thank you for giving me the option and so I have decided to do a clean install of a 64-bit window 7 to Window 10 64-Bit. Can you guide me how to do it and link the window 64 bit so that I can purchase it.

So I am guessing the USB option would be the better option?

You just put it in your pc (Im guessing it already has windows 7) and there it will start the setup.
