How to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or a 64-bit edition of Windows

If you are not sure which version of Windows that you are running or whether it is a 32-bit version or 64-bit version, open System Information (Msinfo32.exe), and review the value that is listed for System Type. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then click Run, or click Start Search.
2. Type msinfo32.exe and then press ENTER.
3. In System Information, review the value for System Type.
