Yes and no. Annoyingly BM changed their Windows program to require a 64bit cpu from 6.3. If you run older versions on your switchers then you can.
Be careful though as I recently bought a Pipo X9 which comes with 64bit cpu but only a 32bit UEFI BIOS so can't run a copy 64bit version of Windows. All super cheap Atom based tablets, tv boxes and touchscreen computers will have this.
Your best bet is a cheap laptop bought from a chain store where you can confirm it ships with a 64bit OS. The cheap Chinese stuff may hype a 64bit cpu but just can't take advantage of it.
