Installed wrong architecture

I installed the wrong architecture (installed i686 instead od x86-64), don't ask me how, i just f*cked up.

Is there any way of "changing" this after the installation, or is it better to just make a new install (with the right architecture)?

Re: Installed wrong architecture

afaik its not possible to change an installations architecture, but i might be wrong.
I'd install the proper architecture fresh.

You could try this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Mi … installing but if its a fresh install I would just reformat and start over

Re: Installed wrong architecture

Feels like a new install is the fastest way to go.
