Upgrading MiniConda from 32-bit to 64-bit

I accidentally installed the wrong Windows version (32-bit) of MiniConda onto my work computer and want to change it to 64-bit. What would be the best way to accomplish this task without causing issues of dependencies?

Would it be to just download the 64-bit installer here and hopefully it can correct the dependencies? Or should I uninstall all of the files in the /miniconda/ folder and then install with the correct .exe file?

Any advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

There is no upgrade from 32 to 64 bit

  1. save your environment configuration in a file:
conda env export > environment.yml
  1. uninstall miniconda 32-bit
  2. install miniconda 64-bit
  3. restore your environment
conda env create -f environment.yml

And when using Miniconda familiarize yourself with:
