My (probably 32bit) PC is low on RAM but the version of Ubuntu is 64-bit. Is there a way to change the architecture without losing my files.

My PC sometimes freezes but Ubuntu Serach Transparent Thing Bar freezes my PC if Software Store is open:

    You CPU is 64 bit - otherwise you would not be able to even start the installer. Your issue is likely something else (e.g. lacking graphics drivers - did you try to install additional drivers from the system settings?). Also you should not install 12.10 as it is no longer supported. Get 14.04 instead. – Takkat Mar 02 '15 at 17:28

Your CPU is not 32-bit. If you have a 64-bit installation, then your CPU is 64-bit. The 64-bit installer will not even boot or run on a 32-bit CPU.
