new computer

My daughter has had her new computer for a month, running Windows 8. It seems no one set up the automatic update (it's all in Turkish so someone has to do it for me) so now, when we couldn't download windows 10 we realised this was because we needed to first update 158 updates to windows 8...

Hi, I have 32 bit windows 7 installed on my PC but I'm unable to run some games I want to play. Someone has suggested I upgrade to 64 bit and then, if it doesn't help, I can buy a new computer and install the 64 bit version on there because I'll need it either way. Is this correct? Thanks, Jess
