Is it same server or Different server? Is your OS 64-bit ?
Several methods after installing SQL server 64-bit:
1)backup/restore
2)attach/Detach

Sagrika, I did not understand your quetion.

SQL will depend upon the OS level. If your OS is 32 bit you can not istall 64bit SQL server.

If you still want to install 64bit SQL server, you may need to reimage your OS first then you can be able to install 64bit SQL server on the server.

If you want to move db from 32-bit sql to 64-bit one, just do backup/restore.
