This episode dives into the rules and limitations surrounding Windows upgrades and memory capacity. You’ll learn about supported upgrade paths—for example, which versions of Windows can be upgraded in-place and which require a clean install. We explain why architecture matters, and how moving between 32-bit and 64-bit environments affects compatibility and software availability.

We also cover RAM limitations across editions and architectures, such as how 32-bit systems are capped at around 4 gigabytes of usable memory, while 64-bit editions can support hundreds of gigabytes depending on the SKU. This information is essential for selecting the right system build, troubleshooting performance issues, or answering scenario-based exam questions about system compatibility.
