The default install is now 64 bit as you have discovered.
We haven't distributed a 32 bit db for at least 2 years (possibly longer), 90% of our corporate users are on O365 subs and are on 64 bit office.
Most DB should be easily converted, the main stumbling block is the use of depreciated Active-X add-ons.
There are some differences if you use a lot of API calls to change pointer types, they are fairly well documented.

Open New 64 bit database, and then go to import and then import everything to the new database

Our IT guy decided to upgrade (?) to 64bit Office a few months ago. It's been pretty painless, one ActiveX control I had trouble finding the 64bit version of but otherwise nothing of note. Just adding PtrSafe, etc.
If ur database 32 bit saved as accde this will not work with Access 64bit
You need to move all ur 32 bit to 64 bit and then saved it as accde 64bit
