Checker 64 bits is a small portable tool that shows you if your processor architecture is of 64 bits and if your Windows is 32 O 64 bits.
Even though you can do this check manually, this Windows application saves you time and does not need any technical knowledge, being ideal for the most novice users.
Check the processor architecture
Operating systems, like Windows and GNU / Linux, have versions for computers of 32 (x86) O 64 (x64) bits. Therefore, knowledge of the processor architecture is essential (CPU). Well, while systems 64 bits can only be installed on PCs of 64 bits, Systems 32 bits can be installed on computers 32 Y 64 bits.
Despite this, you should know that the architectures of 32 bits allow a program to directly access a maximum of 4 GB of RAM, In other words, 232 bytes. Conversely, the architectures of 64 bits enable systems and applications to access large amounts of memory, until 16 exabytes of RAM (264 bytes).
For this reason, If you install an operating system from 32 bits on a computer 64 bits, may not use more than 4 GB of RAM. At the same time, you won't get the best performance from x64 CPUs.
64bit Checker has been created to help you easily find out if your processor is compatible with 64 bits. Y, from here, know if the version of Windows you have is correct or if, Conversely, you need to change it.
It is also useful to know which Windows ISO to download when you want to format your PC and do a clean installation..
Remember that most computers sold today will have high-speed processors. 64 bits. At the same time, more and more software is available exclusively for this architecture. So, you must ensure that the software you use is appropriate for your architecture.
Is my Windows from 32 bits o of 64 bits?
As well as you can know in an instant if your processor is capable of running operating systems of 64 bits, 64bit Checker also shows you if the version of Windows you have installed is 32 bits o of 64 bits.
Whether you use Windows 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP, 2000, 98, 95, NT or Windows Me, 64bit Checker immediately detects your version of Windows. And the best thing is that you don't need to install anything, since the tool is portable. This means you can take it everywhere on your SD or USB card and run it on any Windows PC..
Knowing this information is very important since it enables you to know which applications to download and install. In other words, if you have a Windows of 32 bits, you can only install programs and games for this processor architecture. Conversely, if 64bit Checker detects that you have Windows from 64 bits, means you will be able to install applications from 64 bits (with better performance) and of 32 bits.
In case you have an x86 version of Windows, you must also verify that your CPU is of this architecture. Opposite case, if you have an x64 processor, means you have the wrong version of Windows for your PC. Then you must change it.
Note that if you have a PC that is not old, both your Windows and CPU are likely to be 64 bits. You can check it in the folders created by the operating system on the partition where it has been installed (generally on disk C). Here you will find two folders: Program files - to install applications from 64 bits- and Program Files (x86) -for applications of 32 bits-.
