I have a PC running Windows 8.1 32-bit and I want to upgrade to 64-bit because I heard it's faster. I watched tutorials on YouTube but all of them require a CD/USB but I have none. How would I upgrade?

1You can't upgrade from 32bit to 64bit. You need to do a clean install.– joeqwertyAug 9, 2014 at 23:57

I plan to back up all my memory first then do that. But how would I do a clean install?– kprovost7314Aug 9, 2014 at 23:58

It’s not faster. Unless you have ≥4 GB memory, I recommend you do not do this.– Daniel BAug 10, 2014 at 0:36

Do you mean under 4GB or over 4GB because I have under.– kprovost7314Aug 10, 2014 at 0:52

There is no simple way.
Which is what you need.
- The simplest way would be to get a CD/DVD/Blu-Ray+-DLRW drive.
- A blank DVD.
- magic-iso to burn your image to the blank DVD.
- Boot from that and install as usual.
Sorry But that's the factsjack
