I am wanting to run Mint 22 on my P5GC-MX-1333 Asus motherboard in which I have been running 32 bit 19.3 Mint up to now. Mint 22 is 64 bit. I am running a intell E6550 duo core CPU, LGA775 socket, 2.33gthz. Mint 22 runs on 64 bit. What do i need to do to go from 32 bit to 64 bit or do I just download Mint 22 and it will find the 64 bit and run that way. Can anyone help me please? Thank you, [email protected]

You need to download and install the 64 bit version in a clean install. You can't just convert the existing install to 64 bit, well at least not realistically and timely. This being Linux, someone's done it - but you really just need to preserve your important data and do a clean installation.
