   Uninstall the x86, reboot and install the x64. The Windows versions register   
   some DLLs for the explorer integration and if both are installed one of them   
   will win which might cause problems later. You might need to re-associate file   
   types in the Windows settings.   
      
   Profiles are compatible. The days of binary add-ons are gone. Just do a backup   
   to have a fallback. While i did encounter no problems switching back and forth   
   in the last years there is unimportant data and there is backed up data :)
