I can't install Windows 10 64-bit through Bootable USB
So, I'm trying to Install 64-bit Windows 10 but my laptop won't boot up from USB at all. My current Windows 10 is 32-bit, my proccesor is 64-bit. I have tried extracting an ISO file and then open the setup.exe from there and it just says this app can't run on yours pc. However if I try to open the 32-bit setup.exe it works just fine.
The issue with the bootable USB is, I go to the screen where it says "Press any key to boot from USB" I press any key and then it just restarts. I have set my BIOS boot to USB so it just keeps doing this thing over and over again until I change the boot order. I can't go past the "Press any key to boot from USB", yes the keyboard works since after I press any key, the screen just goes black and restarts. Can I get some help regarding this?

You're trying to install 64-bit Windows 10 on a 64-bit capable processor, but the system isn't booting from USB. The current system is 32-bit, and attempting to run the 64-bit setup from within Windows results in an error.
