What are the steps to upgrade a 32-bit version to a 64-bit version of Windows?

There is no such thing as Windows Server 2007 or Windows Server 2010. No matter what version you are actually meaning you won't be able to do in place upgrade. 32-bit to 64-bit aren't supported so you will need a clean install. Also make sure your hardware support 64-bit before upgrading. If the upgrade is same bit you must check what version your version can upgrade to if you don't want a clean install. Upgrading a server isn't always straight forward, you should confront IT Tech's in your business as you might have running software or data on it. If everything is in place the upgrade it self is no problem pulling off.
