    No, but it has nothing to do with XP's presence.  A 32-bit Windows edition cannot be upgraded to 64-bit.  Back up everything of importance in Windows 10, then do a clean install of Win10 64-bit to the partition Win10 32-bit is now installed to.

    It does not matter how many bits each OS is. On my computer from 2004 I had 32-bit WinXP Home, 64-bit WinXP Pro beta, and both 32 and 64-bit versions of Linux. Although, it no longer has the 64-bit XP beta because that expired.
