Why is my command not working?
I wanted to upgrade my OS to a 64-bit from a 32-bit processor. I was following the guide for that here, but when I wanted to make sure my PCU was compatible on step 6, the coreinfo command wouldn't work. It kept saying that it was unable to extract the x64 image and to run coreinfo from a writeable directory, but I don't understand.

The issue you're encountering with the coreinfo command is related to how you're running it and the environment it's expecting. Coreinfo is a Sysinternals tool designed to display information about processor cores and features, including support for 64-bit instructions.
After moving the coreinfo.exe file to a writable directory such as C:\ or your user folder, run it via Command Prompt with administrator privileges.
