Upgrading from 32 bits to 64 bits

I've a 12.2 32 bits system. I'm going to upgrade hardware: mobo, memory, processor, HD.
I'm going to copy the working system to the new one, I've done this several times and it works fine: boot with system rescue, partition new hard disk, mount new partition and old partition, copy with cp -a the entire filesystem an then install grub.
Or even better: copy with cp -a and then upgrade to 13.1
The question is why not upgrade to x86_64?

I' know it's not officially supported (at least on previous versions). I've been searching reports of success doing so, but I haven't found any.
I't may work?

Of course other option is a fresh install 64 bits and configuring all as new (users, services, etc. ).


regards
