Can I do an upgrade, or do I have to do a clean install?

Different code bases. They just are not compatible, they even use different drivers. Like if you go to 64 bit, you notice in the program files, if a program is 32 bit only, it actually installs into a program files folder labeled "Program Files(x86)"
