i have an acer aspire switch 10 32bit x64 proccessor and i have tried everything to upgrade to 64 bit. i downloaded windows 10 and it is activated, the 32 bit microsoft media creation tool, used rufus to make a bootable usb and it is GTP FAT32 formatted. and for some reason when i boot it up and click the usb hdd option, it goes to the acer start up screen and then i get a message that the system does not support usb boot, which i know it does since it has the option. Ive heard that changing the bios to legacy may work but idk how to do that. is there anyone who can tell me step by step how to upgrade my tablet pc to 64 bit? ive youtubed and googled but it doesnt seem that they are using a tablet and if they are its a surface.
i neeed to do this so that i can get solid works on here for my engineering class. i need a tech savy person to help me with this because though i am pretty tech savy myself, i cant figure this one out.

the main issue are drivers, expecially thermal control, without this you can really damage your switch10.
so i should abort and not do it then?
