I found some old answers on the web for this question, where people say it’s impossible.
But now I found some 64-bit bluetooth drivers on the official download page for this device, what caused me to rise this question again. So is it possible to install 64-bit Windows on Switch 10, and if so, will it be working fine? Thanks in advance.

Did your model come with windows 8.1?
Yes. And then it was officially updated to Windows 10 32-bit (as it came with 8.1 32-bit).

The processor of your model is capable of executing instructions in 64bits. The problem is that you must increase the amount of ram:
Also, you will probably lose the recovery partition from Acer.

Unfortunately, this model doesn’t support increasing the amount of ram, as far as I know. It has unibody case.

This model has very limited hardware. Also, as there is little ram memory, it is ideal to stay with the 32bit version.

The case is that some software I need simply doesn’t run on 32-bit Windows

Yes. It’s just a basic instruction on how to install Windows from USB. But it’s not the topic of my question.

Theoretically it is possible. However, I recommend that you back up the operating system image using the Acer care center.
Then upgrade the bios to the latest version. It is a risky procedure and I am not responsible for any damage.
You can try the following:
You must select the x64 option (the only one that works in uefi mode) and then select download in .iso format!
2) enter the powershell as administrator and enter these commands to program the pendrive to boot: diskpart, list disk, sel disk x (x is the number of pendrive), clean, convert gpt, create partition primary, format fs=fat32 quick and assign! «Give enter in each command»!
3) Extract the iso x64 and paste the files on the pendrive!
4) then enter the BIOS by pressing f2 when turning on the laptop, disable the secureboot by creating a password in setsupervisorpassword, select mode uefi and place the pendrive first and hd second in the boot section or press f12 and select the pendrive! After the first reboot, you should put ssd first!
5) inside the windows 10 installation! Press shift + f10 and type notepad.exe and save your files to another USB stick if you need to back up!
6) to activate, just put the same email and password at the end of the process you used to activate the notebook first!

Okay, I will give it a try. Thanks.

IIRC the issue will be missing 64bit drivers…

After Secure Boot discouraged me from putting a Linux variant on the recently revived Acer SW5-012 (Aspire Switch 10) convertible laptop, I tried to replace the existing Windows 8 installation (locked with passwords I don’t have) with the latest Windows 10.
The first thing to check is to look in the BIOS and verify the CPU is not a member of the ill-fated Intel Clover Trail series, whose support was dropped. Fortunately, the machine uses a newer CPU so I can try installing Windows 10 Fall Creator’s Update. I had an installation USB flash drive built with Microsoft’s Media Creation Tool.
I needed an USB OTG cable to start the installation. Once in progress, I deleted the existing Windows 8 system partition (~20 GB) and the recovery image partition (~7 GB), leaving the remaining two system partitions intact before proceeding.
When Windows 10 initially came up, there were significant problems with hardware support. The touchscreen didn’t work, there was no sound, and the machine was ignorant of its own battery charge level. Fortunately all of these hardware issues were resolved by downloading and running the “Platform Drivers Installer” from Acer’s support site.
After the driver situation was sorted out I started poking around elsewhere on the system and found a happy surprise on Windows licensing. Since I couldn’t get into the Windows 8 installation, I couldn’t perform a Windows upgrade. Because I performed a system wipe, I thought I lost the Windows license on this machine. But I was wrong! I don’t know exactly what happened, but when I went to look at the computer’s information, it claims “Windows is Activated.”
The sticker on the bottom of the machine says it came with Windows 8 Pro. The new Windows 10 installation activated itself as Windows 10 Home. It is technically a step down from Pro to Home but I am not going to complain at the unexpectedly functional Windows license.
The machine outperformed my expectations. It handily outperformed my other computers with Intel Atom processors. I think the key part is its 2GB of RAM, double the 1GB RAM of the other Atom machines. The machine is surprisingly usable relative to its Atom peers.
Some credit is due to Acer for building a low-end computer in 2014 that is still capable on the software of 2017 (almost 2018.)
[UPDATE: I figured out Windows 10 activates itself on Windows 8 machines.]
