Will I loose any data by upgrading to Windows XP x64?

[Guest]

Hi

Can I upgrade to Windows XP x64 or do I have to do a clean
install/partition? If I can upgrade will I loose any data by doing this?

One can only perform a "clean install" of Windows XP x64
which requires a reformat of your hard drive. You'll lose
all your existing files in the process, so a backup would be
a prudent thing to perform.
