I would rename the original d:\qb64 to d:\qb64-original. Then install the current QB64, in the flavor desired 32 or 64 bit.
Then using only copy, take the "-original" source files and copy to the new "QB64" folder. I do this all the time on major new releases. Any dependencies like .h or .bm should be copied too. You will realize those files when in the new install "qb64" things are missing when compiled.
By doing it this way, any problems such as mixing of 32 and 64 bit compiler stuff, just disappears. A fresh directory exists for you to continue using. You can archive (recommended) or delete the -original folder if space is a problem. It's 1000's of files and NTFS being superior to FAT file system. Still likes a lean directory structure.
Hope this helps.
