Windows Forum / Windows XP / Basics / December 200532Bit or a 64Bit?
Hi- Where can I find information in my computer that shows it being a 32Bit or a 64Bit? The PC is using Windows XP. Thanks for any help you can send. -Oscar Unless you purchased a 64bit computer and installed XP 64bit, you can safely assume that it is 32bit running on your computer..  SignatureMike Hall MVP - Windows Shell/User > Hi- > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > -Oscar > Unless you purchased a 64bit computer and installed XP 64bit, you can safely > assume that it is 32bit running on your computer.. you could obviously have a 64 bit processor and not be running a 64 bit OS. rick Rick Read what I said again, and then work out that unless one has a 64bit computer, XP 64 bit will not run on it anyway.. This is not rocket science..

Almost certainly you have the 32-bit edition. Almost anybody who has to ask the question is running the 32-bit version. The 64-bit version requires special hardware. But if you want to check to be sure, enter WINVER at the Start | Run line. SignatureKen Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup Ken Done that. Where does it say 32 bit? It says version 5.1! SignatureRegards.

You're welcome. Also, I forgot to mention that WinXPx64 is version 5.2, as opposed to all of the 32-bit versions being 5.1.

Don't ever count on having both at once. - RAH Congratulations to your help and support. I want to thank everyone who responded to my question, especially Bruce and Gerry. Bruce was saying if 64-bit edition explicitly says "WindowsXP Professional Professional 64-bit Edition. I see that I don't have WindowXP Pro Edition. Using WINVER in Run, I discovered that I have Microsoft Windows Version 5.1 I wish you-all a Happy New Year's Eve. P.S. Freedom, Freedom, Freedom!

ROTFLMAO.. the only game where you could fit an entire American Football game into the slow parts..

Mike The only time I was in Canada it was difficult to see the local wild life, birds or bears <g>, given that I was over 30,000 feet above sea level. I did learn to skate many years ago but I never tried ice hockey. It is very much a minority sport in the UK. I just checked to see whether there is still a National League. There is. Well we are a bit OT now! SignatureRegards.

Then look to see what processor you have. Check manufacturer of processors web site. Search for your processor and you should have your answer |
