The title says it all really.
I have an HP Probook 4525s laptop running Win7Pro-32bit.
I'm currently upgrading it to W10-32bit.
I notice it only has 2GB of RAM and would upgrade it to 4GB if these 2 conditions can be met :

1. The laptop is 64-bit compatible, and I think it is.
2. I can upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit without paying for a new license.

Am I pushing the proverbial uphill here or is it a bit of a cake-walk?

I understand that w10 32 bit is ok with memory up to 4GB - so if you are considering going from 2GB to 4GB then you would still be ok with 32bit.

If you were trying to exceed 4GB then that would be a waste on 32bit windows.
