<div>I did the 32 bit to 64 bit change a while back, and it went
without a hitch. But yes, it does need to be done as an
installation rather than an upgrade.</div>

Subject: [ubuntu-za] 64 Bit Install <br>

<div>This machine is still running 32 bit Ubuntu (12.04). I am
planning on upgrading to 14.04 soon - are there any issues
in going from 32 to 64 bits? I have a separate Home
partition for all my own stuff (and it is all backed up on
my server anyway) and I plan on doing a new install and not
an upgrade.<br>

Thanks,<br>
