You need to do a fresh new install if you want to upgrade to the 64 bit version. You need either a bootable Windows installation media on DVD or USB stick. Go to your BIOS settings and make sure the media from which you want to install is selected as the first boot device, and only have the hdd you want to install Windows on plugged in.
