Windows 10

Hi guys,

A quick one; Is it possible to change keys without having to re-installed Windows 10? Scenario; I have a machine that I need to work on from home this week but it is only x32 and 2/3 apps I need to be using require x64...

I have a brand new x64 retail copy/key of Windows 10 from launch that I could use but I 'm loathed to start having to re-install anything :o

Thoughts?

You can change keys easily, but you will have to reinstall to go from 32 to 64 bit.
 
Be a while before i give 20H1 a try, be reading feedback first, see how many machines have been hosed by it :p

Not just an issue on 10, as it was the same on 7, but why can't i copy/paste error codes into a search engine. Instead I have to type in a series of "is that a O or an 0?".
