Hi,
I am new to linux and made the mistake of loading the i386 Debian
release 10 onto my 64bit intel system. I now want to put the 64bit
version for intel on the system. 
Do I have to backup the data I have in my $HOME directory to load after
loading the 64bit version or can I in someway just load the the OS over
the i386 OS and retain the $HOME contents?????

I am a user on the lists.
Thanks for your attention to this.
