Determining whether a computer is 64-bit or not is crucial for compatibility and performance reasons. 64-bit systems can handle larger amounts of memory and run more demanding applications compared to 32-bit systems. Checking the computer’s bit architecture is a straightforward process that can be done through various methods.
One common method is to check the System Information window. Right-click on the Start button and select “System.” Under the “System” tab, look for the “System type” entry. If it says “64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor,” then the computer is 64-bit.
