Is it possible to “upgrade” from a 32bit to a 64bit installation?
There was a similar question for older Ubuntu versions, but not for 12.04.
Multiarch is ready now and in Ubuntu 12.04?
Can I upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit?

No you can not. Because most of the 32 bit apps will not work in 64bit, need to install all lib (removing 32bit lib) for 64bit. So it's similar to install a new system :) – shantanu Jun 20 '12 at 03:31

If someone has an answer addressing 12.04 in a more specific way (read as it just works) than was already stated in the other question, please add it as a new answer specific to 12.04. My close vote is based on the fact that we should have one question on the topic with diverse and good answers. – RobotHumans Jun 20 '12 at 04:30
