You will have to do a clean Windows Setup, because you can't upgrade from 32-bit to 64-bit.
But you can copy your personal files on another partition/drive.
You will need to boot from the usb, select the partition where the OS will install (You can also format one) and then wait.
It will work fine if you install the OS from the usb, don't worry.
