64 bit ??

[Rosco]

OK super geeks .. ;)

How do I find out which version of Windows I'm running ... 32 or 64 bit?

Ta

Start
Programs
Accessories
System Tools
System Information

That's for XP

[Rosco]

Yep ... did that.

System summary C\ ..... \system32

So does that mean it's 32 bit ??

BTW It's XP Pro Service Pack 3

I only have one customer with 64bit XP. If memory serves my right, it should say 64bit on the windows startup screen ( where it says Windows XP Pro ).

Alot of software is incompatible with 64 so it's not common. I would hazard a guess and say you've got 32bit. (especially as it's Pro service pack 3)

I don't have a 64bit machine here to look at.

Why do you need to know?

Then I'd agree it's most likely 32 bit and by the sounds of it, I should stay that way.

More curiosity then anything. Occasionally you come across bits of software where the question is asked. This AM I was checking out Windows Defender and went to the "Update" page where there were both options.

BTW thanks for appeasing my curiosity ... ;):D
