updating from 10.04 32-bit to 10.10 64-bit

[l0uismustdie]

Hey, I am running 10.04 32-bit on my compaq nc6320 laptop and I am just wondering if there is an easy way to do the upgrade to 10.10 but upgrade to the 64-bit kernel.

Thanks

The only way that I know of is a reformat, if there is a way to convert from 32-bit to 64-bit (upgrade I should say) I'd like to know, but I almost for certain you're going to have to reinstall, cause 90% of all applications have amd64.deb files instead of i386, so it'd be best to reformat anyways.

You have to do a new installation.
