    Windows 10 Upgrading a 64bit windows 7 pro to Windows 10 32bit Pro...Can I do it?

    I have an Dell Optiplex 980 running Win 7 Pro on a 64 bit platform. It is maxed at 4 GB ram which I think is the minimum to run Win 10 64b. Can I just update to the 32 bit OS so the 4 gb memory will be more adequate? Thank you
