[Azariah]

Hey Guys!
I'm not too much techie but i understand the basics and try to resolve some problem by searching... You can call me a n00b... Well i want to know how do i identify the installed copy of windows 7 is 32-bit or 64-bit? Help guys!
I installed Windows 7 RC from a DVD a friend gave me yesterday just after he installed in his computer. But i don't know what version i'm using. Thanks in advance...

Hey!
The most easiest way to identify that in Windows Vista and Windows 7 is to go to C driver "c:\" and look out for "Program Files" folder. If there are two folders one with (x86) at the end, the copy you installed is 64-Bit and the folder "Program Files (x86)" is used to install 32-bit (x86) architecture software. This is definetly the easiest way to identify the Windows OS architecture that i have found rather then typing and remembering different command. Hope this helps you, All the best...

Hey!
Well i would suggest you to try it this way :

• Right-Click on My Computer>Properties
• Check where Windows 7 Ultimate is written
• There it will be mentioned which OS architecture it is

Quite Easy right? Enjoy!
