    32 bit to 64bit upgrade

    Hi guys i installed a 32 bit ver instead of the x64 ver i should have installed i dident notice untill i had installed all my apps and made them changes added widgets etc.

    is it possible to upgrade without wipeing everything out.

    or is the only option a clean installation

    You can not upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit.. you will need to do a clean install.

          It depends on how you set up your system . If you made a seperate /home partition durring set up you can use that same /home partition when you install 64bit . On *nix systems (such as linux) your home folder /home/<username> is where all your personal settings are stored. So as long as you use the same username and reuse that /home partition you will not lose your personal settings. That along with dpkg method in the link above will let you get you system back up in no time.
