X86 to X64

If you have a 64bit capable system just create a separate partition, if necessary, and install the 64bit version on it - will automatically create a dual-boot menu.

 

you need to do a clean install.

 

you need x64 hardware. 32bit can run on 64, 64 cannot run on 32.

 

unfortunately, you can't upgrade. as Ms. Alba pointed out, you will need a fresh install.

I wouldn't do that, eats your harddisk. Better go for vmware/VM virtualbox/native boot

 

I'm not sure you can install a 64 bit vmware/Virtual box guest OS on a 32 bit host.

 

yep you can. No problem to run a 64 bit os on a 32 bit primary os in VMware

edit: the machine must be able to handle x64 architecture of course

 

You asked:

To be precise: you could NOT run VM-Ware 64bit on 32bit Windows (environment), you CAN run 64bit Windows on an 32bit VM-Ware installation under Windows 32bit (as long as the hardware is 64bit compatible).

 

You can install the x64 guest operating system around the 32 bit host if your hardware is compatible with x64 architecture.

To see if it is compatible, use the CPU-Z...
