I have just upgraded my processor to a 64-bit processor and I would like to update my Linux mint 17 to 64-bit. I have been googling for a solution but I cant find a reliable or cleanly explained how-to guide. Can you point me to a guide or help me with this?$ uname -a Linux kmcodes-home 3.13.0-24-generic #47-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 23:31:42 UTC 2014 i686 athlon i686 GNU/Linux
Upgrading Linux mint 17 32- bit to Linux mint 17 64-bit
linux mint;64bit;32bit
I don't know about Mint, but I don't think many distributions support that kind of upgrade. Technically it shouldn't be impossible, but there are some pitfalls that will leave you with an unusable system.It's probably easier to do a new install.
