Do you have an .iso for the version of Windows you're trying to install? If you get one then you can wipe the 32bit one and install the 64bit in its place. Or that should be what would happen. Does your current BIOS even support 64bit?

If I were you, I'd be seriously considering jacking the PC you have in and starting anew from the ground up, it's the only way to ensure that that you get will work. If you go for an AMD AM3+ board and processor CCL are doing these at knock down prices as they're being phased out in favour of the AMD Ryzen AM4 boards. The AM3+ ones are just as good only a lot cheaper. Seriously, give CCL a look see.

I upgraded the hard drive, CPU and graphics card in mine and it is right up there with the best now, and for half the money.

CHEERS!

All parts are OEM  except GC, HDD (bigger) and processor (replaced a broken one but it's 64 bit). I'm trying to install the 64bit windows but need bios to be able to read the flashdrive. I can't build anything as I'm skint lol!.

The processor may be 64bit, but, are you sure the motherboard and BIOS are? You can't always fit a Ferrari engine into a Beetle. I hope you find something workable till you can afford something else.

CHEERS!

There will always be something. When I tried to swap my hard drives over, I forgot that I'd configured the old HDD as RAID, SSD's can't be that. However Windows would only boot if the HDD was RAID. Took me ages to find a simple command line that would fix that.

The answers are there, it just takes forever to find the right one

CHEERS!

Some glues can be hit or miss, that’s for sure. I gave up on Loctite just recently. Switched over to Gorilla Glue, and so far so good.

Thank you Mark! Now I know why the Loctite was on sale, nearly bought the Gorilla Glue, should have but I'm used to Loctite being a top brand for mechanical applications for guns and bikes etc..

It could have been an old batch, too, though. I just found for plastics, Gorilla Glue seems to work a bit better. And you can get that precision tip that screws on and off easily (doesn't end up glueing itself to the cap -- I wonder if there's enough space between the cap and the tip to keep it from doing that like other SGs tend to).

That looks really good, as good, if not better, than HT could do it for way more money.

Don’t get discouraged, Peaches. Everyone has to start somewhere. ShovelChop has been at this for quite some time, and he’s a maestro at thinking outside the box. I’m sure your project will turn out cool.
