If I have Wondows 7 32 bit can use the 64-bit of Windows 8 update?

I'll be able to use the upgrade of windows 8 64-bit on my 32-bit windows 7 Home premium?

To move from one OS 32-bit to a 64-bit version of Windows requires a "Custom" / Clean install. "" This means that you must back up all your data (Documents, music, Photo, etc.) to external media before installing the 64 bit OS.  Applications will also need to be reinstalled.

Check also that there are device drivers of Windows 8 for your make and model in the support of the manufacture web site.

Before moving to Windows 8, we recommend you run the wizard upgrade of Windows 8.
It scans your current PC to see if it's ready for Windows 8 and provides a
report of compatibility with the optional steps for you to purchase, download and install Windows 8.
