What benefit do you expect from it being a 64-bit system? Also the most important detail you left out. How much memory do you have? Do you have more than 4 gig of memory? > I found this article: > > https://wiki.debian.org/Migrate32To64Bit The above is an experimental process. It is meant as a sharing of information for hackers to learn. It requires detailed actions to be taken in order to be successful. A problem along the way and you would be left with an unusable system. This is how development occurs. Someone says, it can't be done. Someone else says, I did it this way. Time passes and various people try doing it various ways. If it becomes mature then that eventually is promoted to a normal easy thing to do. But in the beginning it is very scary development for experts only. Currently migrating systems from 32-bit to 64-bit is a technical possibility. It is like walking on a tightrope between two balloons. Is it possible. Yes. Has it been done. Yes. Would *I* walk a tight rope between two hot air balloons? NO!! Backup your data. Install a fresh 64-bit system. Copy your data back. Bob
