One thing to watch out for, is if you upgrade from a 32bit OS, you'll download the 32bit upgrade.

MS still does this BS with multiple editions, and now 32 vs 64 bit? what the cluster****.

do they charge when you switch from a Black and White monitor to a Color monitor? (joking)

It's probably because they're trying to automate the process. Since it's an upgrade, you can't upgrade from 32 to 64, therefor it's not going to give you 64 as it won't work.
