Turning Arch Linux 32bit (i686) to 64bit (x86_64)

I installed Arch Linux on a pc that was only 32bit compatible and I want to put it into my pc that is 64bit compatible. Is there a way to turn the current 32bit Arch Linux to 64bit Arch Linux (I don't care if it is untested or if there's a possibility of damaging the OS or Computer)

First search result on google with the query "convert arch linux 32 to 64 bit" is the wiki page.

(http://www.bing.com/searchq=Is+there+a+ … 0393fd158b) Doesn't show anything about migrating from 32 to 64bit without reinstalling (I use bing not google)

Bing gets it in the top 2-3 listings as well if you use actual search terms instead of speaking to bing like it's a human.
