What version of windows are you using?

Most persons know they are running Windows XP, Vista or 7, but few can say whether it is the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the operating system that is installed on their machine.

Here's how you can find out for yourself:
  1. Click on Start
  2. Right-mouse click on Computer OR My Computer
  3. Click on Properties (at the bottom of the menu)
  4. In the Window that opens you're looking for 64-bit OR 32-bit (same as x86)
You can also:
  1. Click on Start
  2. Click on Control Panel
  3. Find and click on System
  4. In the window that opens you're looking for 64-bit OR 32-bit (same as x86)

NB: If the Operating System you're using is Windows XP then you WILL NOT SEE x86/32-bit. You will know it is 32-bit by the absence of it saying x64 edition.
