The 32-bit version of the Media Creation Tool can run on 32-bit Windows as well as 64-bit Windows because 32-bit programs are backwards compatible on 64-bit operating systems. If you go to Microsoft's website, you will have two versions of the Media Creation Tool choose from: one is 32-bit, and the other is 64-bit. Two Versions of the Media Creation Tool: 32-bit and 64-bit

I read your article, ' How to Upgrade from Windows 10 32-bit to 64-bit', but I don't understand why I am receiving the error 'this app can't run on your PC' when attempting to run the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. A few weeks ago I upgraded to Windows 10 32-bit, but now I want to upgrade to Windows 10 64-bit.
