Appendix C: How to Determine Your Version of Windows OS
Is my PC running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows?
The terms
32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles
information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory
(RAM) more effectively than the 32-bit version. Follow the steps in the sections below to find out
if your PC is running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows and what edition of Windows is on
your PC.
Computers Running Windows XP
Click Start , right-click My Computer , and then click Properties .

If “x64 Edition” is listed under
System
, you’re running the 64-bit version of Windows XP.

If you don’t see “x64 Edition” listed under
System

Windows XP.
The edition of Windows XP you're running is displayed under System near the top of the window.

Computers Running Windows 8
1. Open the Windows 8 Control Panel.
Tip: You can check your Windows 8 system type much faster from the Power User Menu but
it's probably speedier that way only if you're using a keyboard or mouse. With that menu open,
click or touch on System and then skip to Step 4.
2. Touch or click on System and Security within Control Panel .
Note: You won't see a System and Security link in Control Panel if your view is set to either Large
icons or Small icons. If so, find System and touch or click on it, then skip to Step 4.
3. With the System and Security window now open, click or touch System .
