Ok so here's my predicament. I got a new laptop from a friend. It was running windows 8. I wanted to install windows 10 now that it's out, but I had to update to 8.1 first.

The repair install failed at the end, but it only gave some extremely vague error message which is of exactly zero value in determining what went wrong!

Hi. Due to not having enough space from on an external drive to back up data and do a clean install, I decided to do a repair.

However, when I try and do the repair install, it tells me I can't install 32-bit over a 64-bit (I know this), but ALSO tells me I can't install 64-bit over 32-bit...
