Thanks Anna, that's encouraging. I'm already on a 5.4.x HWE Kernel so I
may just run a complete backup and go for it. I could always just wipe,
install a 64-bit Ubuntu and restore my backup if all goes wrong - I mean
what else could go wrong after that ;-)

I'm reading up with a plan to either switch over manually (trying to get my head around the instructions and fallback options if it goes wrong) or preferably migrate to a new 64 bit Ubuntu 20.04 host (although 2 weeks seems quite tight given I am currently balancing work, with family and looking after my dad).
