How to Verify Windows 64 Bit
Recent versions of Windows come in 32- and 64-bit versions. The 64-bit version is faster but only works combined with 64-bit hardware to support it. If you want to verify that your version of Windows is the 64-bit version, you can do so from within the operating system itself. The process is easy and takes only a few moments.
