This is called a "crossgrade" sometimes (a portmanteau of "cross" and
"upgrade").  It is NOT supported.  However, some advanced people have
done it.  There's a wiki page about it.

I've never done it.  I've never even ATTEMPTED it.  I would not
recommend it, particularly to a novice.

If the OP wants to run a 64-bit OS in the end, they should install a
64-bit OS to begin with.
