Nagios XI x86 upgrade to x64

Hello Support,
We currently are making use of the 32bit version of the Nagios XI VM. We have many configuration files migrated in and everything seems to be working fine. We would like to know if there is a process to migrate to the 64 bit platform without much issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

The steps outlined in the Upgrade Instructions documentation does a good job of showing you how to back up your current installation. When you upgrade the previous version's settings should migrate in correctly.
The guide can be found at:

These instructions outline upgrading to a newer version of the product but do not cover migrating from a 32bit platform to a 64bit version.

Migrating from x86 to x64 requires recompilation of all binaries. The way to do this is to do a clean install on a second system, and then migrate your configuration files and any custom plugins to the new machine.

I know some users have also done this by backing up and then restoring to the new system:
