Thanks! , Sorry but that's not the answer i expected,

In short, one cannot simply upgrade a 32-bit system to a 64-bit system without a clean install.

My Sister wont let me upgrade... she thinks its risky, is it really? :sweaty:

Can i just.. use compatibility mode to play Planet Coaster??!

What do you mean by compatibility mode? And it is risky. It can be...

 

[CJ123321]

Right Click a program then properties then compatibility tab.. check it

 

[shmsnh]

No, compatibility mode will not let you run 64-bit programs in a 32-bit OS.

You would have to install the OS from scratch. It's not really risky - it depends on how comfortable you are with computers.

What would prevent you from doing a clean install? What files would she need to preserve? Of course if it's HER PC then she get's the final say regardless :smile:

there's no way to upgrade from 32bit to 64bit, you need to do a clean install using the 64bit OS version

i suggest you backup the important stuff to the cloud or an external HD, install 64bit, then put your stuff back

You need 64-bit install media. Specifically an image that says its "x64" or "64-bit" not "x86" or "32-bit."
Also a pain-free clean install takes some preparation, and installing updates after that will take a while. (you'll need to get a patch to speed up updating. NOT a program, but Here's how to significantly speed up Windows 7 scans for updates | InfoWorld)

Also, I was a kid too once, did you get permission? And Planet Coaster hasn't launched yet and Roller-coaster Tycoon World has mostly negative reviews on Steam.
Go for Undertale or something.
