Hi,
have gone through the procedure on ms site in order to purchase windows 10 here in the uk. sadly i had to abort when it got to the payment stage .
this was due to no option for windows home as 32/64bit , which seems strange.
i have been on windows chat for half an hour and they dont know the answer, wondered if anyone here knowd how to make sure i get the 64 bit version.

your help appreciated and apols if posted in wrong area as this is my first thread
