Does my 2nd gen intel core i3 supports 64 bit? Does it support PAE,NX,SSE2 etc.? Does I need to upgrade my BIOS before upgrading to windows 10 ?

Yes. You CPU supports all that Windows 10 requires.

 

You do not need to update the BIOS before upgrading.

Then copy the important files to an external storage device before upgrading.

 

That will take the fear of losing the files out of the upgrade equation.

Hi AJS11,

 

Q: Can I upgrade and after that clean install win10 64bit by formatting 'local disk C' ONLY ??
A: Yes, see this guide how to do a clean install W10.  Once you have upgraded to Windows 10 and activated it, you don't have to enter the product key.

 

Q: And keeping my files in other partitions SAFE ??

A: Yes, if you know what you are doing. But like the others have said, BACKUPs offer better protection, such as media backups or cloud backups.

 

Hope this help.
