You need to install the new o/s on a different server and transfer roles,
etc... to this new server. If you then want to upgrade this old server you
have to rebuild from scratch. Demote via dcpromo, reinstall o/s and
repromote.

yes for AD, not for the server. It is not possible to upgrade x86 to x64
