If that doesn't make sense to you, please re-read the above paragraph a few times until it does. So, if you downloaded the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool 64-bit onto Windows 10 32-bit, you will receive the error "this app can't run on your PC" because you are attempting to run a 64-bit executable program on a 32-bit operating system. However, the 64-bit version of the Media Creation Tool will only run on 64-bit Windows. 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 then the reason you receive the error message that "this app can't run on your PC" is because you downloaded the wrong version of the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool.

I have been asked this question many times in the past and for some reason I'm still being asked the same question (even though I've answered it in my previous article). Do you have any idea how I can fix this problem so I can upgrade to Windows 10 64-bit? " I have verified that my processor supports 64-bit, so I don't understand why I am being plagued by this error message.
