No, it's not possible currently. The Cygwin dll and all of the binaries
in the distribution are 32-bit.

If you don't need the POSIX layer that Cygwin provides then google for
mingw64. That is a native toolchain which produces 64-bit binaries.
Otherwise, I'm afraid you're out of luck unless you can fund development
of a 64-bit Cygwin.

Barring any running services, yes. If you are running a service like
openssh then you need to reconfigure the other PC. But it's still
32-bit.
