You are better off first upgrading to Debian 9 and *then* trying to
crossgrade. The packages in Debian 9 are more prepared for multi-arch
than the one in Debian 7.

Still, there is no guarantee it will work and for production systems I
strongly advise you to just backup the data and reinstall from scratch
as 64bit system.

Sven.

copy data (backup)
dpkg --get-selections
install 64
dpkg --set-selections
migrate configurations

Hi Sven,

Thanks for that suggestion.
I've quickly tried this on a test VM and indeed crossgrading seems to work much better in debian 9 compared to debian 7.

Thanks,
Pieter
