A user wishes to upgrade a PC to Windows 10 from a PC running a 32-bit version of Windows 7. Which two editions of Windows 10 will support this upgrade?

32-bit version of Windows 10 Home

32-bit version of Windows 10 Pro

Upgrading from a 32-bit version of Windows 7 allows for the option to upgrade to either a 32-bit version of Windows 10 Home or a 32-bit version of Windows 10 Pro. Both of these editions are designed to work with the same architecture, which means that the 32-bit system can only directly transition to another 32-bit operating system.

Choosing the 32-bit version of Windows 10 Pro as an upgrade maintains compatibility with existing 32-bit applications and enables features that are specific to the Pro edition, such as additional security options and enhanced networking capabilities.

In contrast, the 64-bit versions of Windows 10, regardless of whether they are Home or Pro, cannot be installed as an upgrade from a 32-bit operating system without first performing a clean installation, which would require a backup and transfer of data.
