  i installed the 32 bit accidentally and i was wondering if i could install the 64bit one while keeping my files still. 

  
  you can't, you have to perform clean installation to change 32 bit to 64 bit.

  1. Any particular reason(s) that you need to replace a 32-bit install with a 64-bit ?

  2. If you don't mind waiting a bit, build 10041 ISO will be available to download. When that happens, you can then select the 64-bit ISO download. Then do a clean install.
  The wait couldn't be too long because build 10041 is already released via Windows Update 6 days ago.

  3. Backup your files to an external hard drive before installing.

  In case you don't know yet.......

  The ISO file of the new build 10041 has been released. You can download it at this link ......

  http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/preview-iso-update-1503

  It is for Pro (non-Enterprise) version.
  You can choose the language and bit-version.
