Ubiquity: upgrade to 64-bit

Asked by Sebastian Szperling

Ubiquity was recently redesigned to include an "upgrade ubuntu" option (see bug #723849). I was wondering if this option would allow the user to move from 32-bit to 64-bit (eg.: 10.10 32-bit -> 11.04 64-bit). It would be extremely useful if you could just press a button to upgrade your system from 32 to 64-bit (provided you have a 64-bit processor and the appropriate CD).

You need to reinstall to change architecture like that, there is no other way

Can you help with this problem?
