The hard drive will have a boot-loader marker installed which if you are trying to do an upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit will fail. You need to make sure the drive is blank and hence backup your data and then format the drive from an external source. Then try the install. Just an alternative solution which could be causing you an issue.

Hope that solves your problem. Please mark as helpful if it leads you to a satisfactory solution.Thank you.

The issue you are experiencing with your Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L not accepting a Windows 10 Pro x64 installation could be related to the motherboard's compatibility with the 64-bit version of the operating system. The P35-DS3L motherboard was released in 2008, and it may not be fully compatible with the 64-bit version of Windows 10.

One possible solution to this issue is to check for any BIOS updates for your motherboard that may address compatibility issues with newer operating systems. You can check the Gigabyte website for any available updates and instructions on how to install them.

Another solution is to check if your system meet the minimum requirements to run Windows 10 Pro x64, such as 64-bit processor, 4GB of RAM or more.

Lastly, it may be necessary to contact Gigabyte support for further assistance in resolving this issue.
