If you make an upgrade from a 32bit system you get upgraded to a 32bit system. There is no other way with a direct upgrade.

64bit wouldn't have any advantage for you, anyway.

 

The Modern UI requires a resolution of 1024x768, not more, unless you want to snap apps.

I can't answer your 'apps' problem because I can't get all apps to work on my own system, regardless of what I try.

 

Re 64-bit Windows, it needs 2gb or more, not 2gb less video. Stick with 32-bit Windows. It will work better for you..
