I want to install the 64-bit version. If I uninstall mp3tag 32-bit, will I lose my settings? In general, what files (from program files (x86) or/and roaming) must I save and reinstate - after the 64-bit installation - in order for the program to function exactly as it does now?

Here are some posts about up- and downgrading:

> It's indeed the case, that any filters you're adding with v3.14b and beyond are not available when you downgrade to a previous installation. The latest versions are using a different data structure that is not accessible to previous versions. What you're seeing are the pre-v3.14b filter expressions, that are still preserved to have a safe upgrade path in case something goes wrong during the beta phase.
As the data structure in the auxiliary files for user-data should not differ between 32- und 64-bit-versions, I think you can simply overwrite the old installation.
If you need more information about installation and backup, see the documentation:

@nutcracker
Before that I would create a backup of the configuration with `File->Save configuration`
Have a look at the realease notes for **3.14f**.

I've also added some additional notes here:

> I've released a [64-bit version of Mp3tag](https://community.mp3tag.de/t/455) a few days ago and received a few questions about differences between the 32-bit version and the 64-bit version. To make it short, there should not be any noticeable differences except for two things: The 64-bit version uses 64-bits to address memory and is no longer limited to 2 GB per application. While the [Library](https://docs.mp3tag.de/customization/options/library) feature of Mp3tag is already a very viable solution for large libraries, loosening the memory restriction is one of the key benefits of …
