yes.
we've had 64-bit CPUs for what, 20 years?
there's no real reason to be on a 32-bit OS unless you're in a business environment and need 16-bit apps which only run on 32-bit.
while the TPM requirement makes no sense at all (especially considering how hard Microsoft pushed to get everybody on Win10) the 64-bit requirement makes perfect sense; I doubt there are any machines out there right now that would run 32-bit better than 64-bit, it's free performance and far fewer headaches in terms of memory limits.
