If that PC needs a 32-bit version of Windows 10, then you can indeed choose either a 32-bit or 64-bit version.
#NINITE PRO ACTIVATOR TOOL INSTALL#
If you're creating a USB install disk for another PC with different requirements, then you may or may not be in luck. As you can see here, the options are grayed out when the selection box below is ticked. Insert your USB stick, click next, and thankfully another change that Microsoft has made is that the tool now auto recognizes the correct options for your PC. Open the tool and you'll need to select 'Create installation media for another PC'.
#NINITE PRO ACTIVATOR TOOL UPDATE#
This currently includes November's big update to the OS so you won't have to download that afterwards, which saves a huge amount of time. When you're ready, head here and download the latest version of Microsoft's Media Creation tool (MCT). They cost less than $5 too so are definitely worth buying to keep for future reinstalls. For this, you'll need a 4GB or larger USB stick, preferably a USB 3 capable model as this will allow you to install the OS at blistering speeds. Mine was taking up a massive 26GB.Īs well as the old install, the OCD PC geek in me hates running a system that hasn't had a clean install so another reason for you to do this when you have a few hours spare is do just that - fresh install Windows 10. Perform a scan on the C: and you should see an option called 'Previous Windows installations'. You can manually delete the old version too by heading to Start and typing disk cleanup.

Thankfully, Windows 10 does delete your old copy after around 30 days (after which you won't be able to backtrack either), plus it's worth trying out the new OS for a week or two to iron out any issues. This does mean you can revert back if needed, but amongst other things it also means that a huge chunk of hard disk space is being wasted, housing your old OS. There is one down side to upgrading, though, and that's Windows 10 has essentially been installed over your old copy of Windows. Reboot your PC once they're all installed and eventually your PC should show up as being activated. If it isn't, head to Windows Update on the left of the page and click check for updates. Head to the Start Menu, type activate, click Activation and check your copy is activated. The whole idea with upgrading first is that your copy of Windows 10 gets activated on Microsoft's servers. Once the OS is installed, you can deselect the various data-gathering options at the start - see more about this on page 3. If you don't want to keep certain items after you've upgraded, there's the option to fine tune this as well, but for now, I'd just go with the default options. You'll likely see the download window pop up and the progress of your Windows 10 download. When the install is complete, everything should be as it was, except you now have Windows 10 installed - there's no need to install anything again or copy back over all your files. When installing Windows 10, you can keep all your old programs and files. Finally, do this over a fast Internet connection as you'll likely need to download the OS and a few updates too. Also, make sure your OS is completely up to date. Backup anything essential to an external hard disk or USB flash drive. It's rare, but it has happened on more than a few people's PCs when they upgraded so don't take that risk. I like to assume the worst here and that is that the install process goes horribly wrong and you can't get at your data and programs. There are a couple of essential steps to perform before this, though, and the first is to backup your PC.
#NINITE PRO ACTIVATOR TOOL UPGRADE#
You'll likely need to download it first if you haven't seen any upgrade messages, but once you've upgraded your current activated copy of Windows 7 or 8.1, you'll have registered your copy of Windows 10. The key here is that you must 'upgrade' and not perform a fresh install yet in order to avoid activation issues. Alternatively, you can visit Microsoft's website and start the install process there.
