"you can install more memory to get to 8gigs" on Windows 7 as well.


Windows 10 is entirely orthogonal to the issue and the discussion.
Because 8gigs ram for a 32-bit Windows 7 doesn't work. Also, if there is no Windows 7-64 available to install, then moving to Windows 10 64-bit is the only choice without paying for a new version of Windows.

You have to do a 32-bit Windows 10 upgrade and then make a USB or DVD 64-bit Windows 10 install to boot from and install in place of the 32-bit Windows. Then once that's done, all the software can be resinstalled using 64-bit versions were available. If the computer only has 4gigs of ram, the Calibre conversion can be tried again. But if it fails then moving to 8gigs is the next step.
