If you want to go from Windows 7/32 to Windows 7/64 you will need to do a Clean Install with Windows 7/64.
Here is a great little tutorial by Brink that will guide you.
Clean Install Windows 7
ok, is there a way that i can back up all my application and restore them in the newly installed windows ?so i don't reinstall every program.
You can backup your programs to a external drive and then transfer them to the new install.
The proper way in my opinion is to clean install all programs on your new system. You will find out that their will be less problems. Some programs might not install or work properly because you are going from a 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 7.
ok. Thank you very Much.
I will go with clean install.
