<P dir=ltr>To switch from one architecture to another, a fresh install is really
the only viable way to do this, i.e. download an iso, write it do a disk such as
a flash drive or CD, boot into said disk, then install. A way to make future
installs easier is to set /home to a separate partition, the Xubuntu installer
supports that, but you'd have to do the partitions manually.</P>

<DIV text="#000000" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"> So I recently have
installed xubuntu on my windows 7 laptop, mainly for the express purpose of
being able to access my school from it through the terminal. I have
since kind of fallen in love with this new OS even though it may not cover all
the functions my laptop has to offer through windows 7, but that is beside the
point.<BR> I installed xubuntu 12.04 on my laptop from a
live disc given to me by my professor, and so me not thinking didn't realize
it was 32 bit. At least I think...I ran the command <I>uname -m </I>in
the terminal and it gave back <I>i686 </I>which supposedly means I have a 32
bit OS. Without a doubt, though, I know I can run 64bit I have a 64bit
windows 7 and a i7 4700MQ processor. Now my only problem is switching
this 32bit OS to a 64bit one. <BR> I would think this
is as simple as setting up a live usb stick for 12.04 64bit xubuntu, which I
would need a few pointers on. However I just want to make sure I am not
going to destroy my laptop. So to state the obvious how do I change my
32bit OS to a 64bit OS and is it safe?<BR><BR>Thanks for any
