Unable to play games like battlefield 3,etc in my 32 bit laptop.Why cant i play 64 bit(x64) games in 32 bit(x86) OS?
All the latest HC games are coming with 64 bit OS.Is it possible to convert my laptop to 64 bit?

Battlefield 3 should run on a 32-bit operating system but most games like Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare requires 64-bit. To answer your 2nd question: It depends on your processor if it supports 64-bit instruction set but to install a 64-bit version you will need to perform a re-installation using a 64-bit Disk OS.
