You can download your drivers from the manufacturers website.

There is no 'upgrade'. You must do a clean install, wiping out whatever is on that disk or partition.
Of course, this includes the drivers.

Before you start, go to the manufacturers websites and download the relevant drivers for all your hardware.
Save this to a USB stick or DVD.

After the OS install, install the drivers from your USB.

You can't upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit, you have to do a full fresh install. You can find any drivers you need online from the relevant websites
