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!
