there is no 64bit for v5, but i see one for v6 and above

That may be the case, but it has nothing to do with your problem.

I think that you may be a bit confused as to what tomcat is, and how it runs 
under Windows.
Maybe you should read this first : 
https://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Windows#Q11

And then, when you have calmed down and have really understood what that means, re-read Mark's and others previous answers, and you may understand what they mean.

And if you still do not understand,
- compose and send a /new/ messages to the list, with a new subject, to ask your question. Do not just hit "reply" on some other message (not even this one). (If you do not understand this part, see : https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Thread%20Hijacking) - do not start shouting your mouth about things that you do not understand, and affirm things that are technically not true. That upsets other people, in particular the people who donate their time to create tomcat and provide it to you for free, and the people who donate their time to answer your questions on this list, also for free.

    okay tomcat 6 is earliest/latest version that supports 64bit...


The above statement is incorrect.

Any version of Tomcat will run on either a 32-bit or 64-bit JVM
providing that that JVM meets the minimum Java version required by the
version used of Tomcat.

The Windows installer has supported 64-bit since 5.5.28. So the Windows
installer provided by all current versions support 64-bit JVMs.

        Long story short, next I'm trying to migrate from Tomcat 5.5.17 to 
Tomcat7. I
        see that the officially supported route is two paths, 
migrating/updating 1 level
        at a time, from Tomcat5.5 to Tomcat 6 and then from Tomcat6 to Tomcat7.


The above statement is incorrect.

The Tomcat community does not require migration one major version at a
time. If anything, we'd recommend the exact opposite - upgrade to the
latest available version.

Migration of any well written web application from 5.5.x to 9.0.x is
trivial.
