Can I upgrade Dell Latitude e5420 to Windows 10 64-bit version?
Dear Concerned Person
My Dell Latitude e5420 laptop has Intel Core i5 2520M @2.50Ghz CPU. which, I think is 64 bit. The laptop is pre-installed with Windows 7 32-bit version. Can I upgrade this laptop to Windows 10 64-bit version?
Please advise.

You asked about "upgrading" - which means taking an existing Windows install and migrating it to 64-bit Windows. That, you cannot do.
Your system can run 64-bit Windows 10, but you will need to wipe it clean and install a new copy of that - you cannot migrate or upgrade 32-bit Windows to 64-bit Windows.

You can run Windows-64 but no, you cannot upgrade to it. Migrating from 32- to 64-bit requires a complete, ground-up reinstall.

I did not understand. What is the difference between running Windows and installing Windows?
