Generally speaking, you will need to reinstall Windows and install the 64bit version. Therefore you will either need to partition your storage drive for the new install or completely remove your current windows install or purchase a new storage drive and install the 64bit version of Windows on it.
Make sure you back up all your data before migrating to 64bit Windows.
