Hi, I am new to linux and made the mistake of loading the i386 Debian release 10 onto my 64bit intel system. I now want to put the 64bit version for intel on the system. Do I have to backup the data I have in my $HOME directory to load after loading the 64bit version or can I in someway just load the the OS over the i386 OS and retain the $HOME contents?????
If you have time to spend or willing to learn something inthe process, that can be fun to play with it. In your case, I would do a fresh install of Debian with 'home' as a separate partition,. Don't forget to always backup before you do something on your host. -- John Doe
