To start off, my computer is running on Windows 7 Home Basic. I know it's out of support, but I'd appreciate any help at all.
About a month ago, my computer kinda broke; it wouldn't startup properly for some reason. After trying startup repair and messing around with cmd, I tried backing up my files to a backup hard drive to reinstall Windows on my main hard drive. That didn't work, so we brought it to a computer shop. They installed a new hard drive, and my computer is running again. My old hard drive is still in my computer, along with all the files in it.
I noticed the system type was now 32-bit, but I clearly remember that it was 64-bit. It also says that I have 6 GB of RAM, but only 2.99 GB are usable. These changes didn't bother me too much, but as I tried reinstalling HitFilm, one of the programs I had on this computer before it got broken, the installer wouldn't work. A popup message appears saying "This installation package is not supported by this processor type." Apparently HitFilm can only run on 64-bit computers.
I'll be honest that I know not a lot about tech and stuff, but is there any way to go about this without having to install any physical hardware?
Thanks.
Here are the specs of my computer before it got repaired:
Windows 7 Home Basic
Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2120 CPU @ 3.30 GHz 3.30 GHz
RAM: 2.00 GB
