No OS can do 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade in place
barence773 27th Oct 2009
It can't be done because there are real differences in the code used for 32-bit vs 64-bit programs. Trying to "upgrade" from 32-bit to 64-bit simply won't work.

Switching from 32-bit to 64-bit requires a clean install. Not only that. You will have to install 64-bit versions of some programs, if you want them to work properly (some 32-bit software will probably be supported). You will definitely need 64-bit drivers.
