You can't upgrade, you will need to do a clean install. Unfortunately you cannot transfer your account settings using Windows Easy Transfer between 32-bit and 64-bit.

If you have a retail copy of Windows 7 it comes with both the 32-bit and 64-bit DVD's, so it would be just a matter of doing of throwing that disc installing over that copy.

I don't believe there is an automatic way to switch over to 64-bit through your current 32-bit OS.
