I have a Windows 7 Pro 32 Bit genuine product installed in my Desktop PC I know that I will be able to upgrade it to Windows 10 Pro 32 Bit.

But, I want further clarification that whether I can use the same key to upgrade to Windows 10 Pro 64 Bit or not (Considering the fact that my CPU is or supports x64 based processor)

If I can update the above one to 64 bit then can I swap it with my Laptop's Windows 10 Home Single Language 64 Bit i.e. after doing the thing mentioned above(if I can or If I am allowed to do so) then can I swap OS of my PC to Laptop so that I can have Windows 10 Pro on my Laptop and Windows 10 Home on my PC as I don't use much of my PC.

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Accessibility

    Hello , i'm Timon and i'm glad to help you.

    Even if the free migration period has ended in 2016, you can still upgrade your Windows 7 Pro 32 bits to Windows 10 Pro 32 bits.

    Pay attention as there is, there’s no direct upgrade path.

    You will have to upgrade from Windows 7 32 bits to Windows 10 32 bits then perform a clean install of Windows 10 64 bits.

    For the swap question, activation depends on what type of license you have.

    If Windows came preinstalled with the computer, this is called an OEM license: the license is linked to the motherboard and is non-transferable.

    If you are in this case, you need to get a new license.

    The story is different for retail licenses, but it requires the licence to be linked to a Microsoft Account.
