How can the OS version on your
computer be checked?
By right clicking the start button on Windows 10 and selecting “SYSTEM”
it shows the OS version whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. In windows 7 & 8
(&10) just click “SYSYEM” on the Control Panel to know the OS Version. In
addition to it, it also displays whether you're using a 64-bit processor, which
is required to run 64-bit Windows.
How does it matter, which OS is being
used?
the 32-bit version can only address a bit less than 4GB of
memory in total, for the entire system, this includes the memory in the video
card. For Windows it’s usually about 3.5GB total.
“The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random
access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.”
this is one reason
alone why most people choose one over the other.
Though there are other differences, the ability to address
certain amounts of RAM is the main concern for most users.
