No you can't upgrade from 32bit to 64bit. It requires a complete reinstall.

Mak - you should make a sticky on this one.

No you cannot upgrade a 32 bit OS to a 64 bit one.

Difference Between 32 Bit (x86) and 64 Bit (x64)

Added to teh current sticky on 32/64 Bit. As a seperate post and as part of the main discussion. Just reference that now.
