Default Upgraded a Windows 7 Professional 32GB Partition to Windows 8 Pro 32bit - Can I Now Change it to Windows 8 64bit?

I used the Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Disc. It has both a 32bit disc and a
64bit disc. I want to upgrade to 8GB of memory from the existing 4GB,
and install the 64 bit version to utilize the extra memory.

Is it possible to do this?

Backup your data, then perform a fresh install

Paul has covered all the details.

What has not been asked...
- Does the hardware (currently using the 32 bit o/s) support 64 bit ?

I AM Bucky Breeder, (*(^; and if we want our childrens
to do better in skool, we should just make all of outer-space
the only planet, and that way they won't have to memorize
so much for the tests. We should also make "Chemistry is
the Devil's science" the only acceptable answer to science
tests - and only use wurd prahssessirs with spel chekkars for
speling tests and speling bees. That making teh skores go up!

Repent : 'The End' is near! Or... just smoke 'em if you got 'em.
