An upgrade disk that is 64-bit will allow you to do a clean install, yes. As
others have pointed out, you may only have a 32-bit disk, or you may only
have a license for 32-bit, you'll need to verify that. And you can't do an
actual in place upgrade, but must do a clean installation because of the
change in architecture.
