Windows XP if you have Windows XP, there are two ways to determine if you are running 32-bit or a 64-bit version. If one does not work, try the other.

  1. Click Startand then click run.
  2. Type sysdm.cpl, and then click OK.
  3. Click the general tab. The operating system is displayed as follows:
    • For a 64 - bit operating system version: Windows XP Professional x 64 Edition Version appears under System.
    • For a 32-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional Version appears under System.

    Note is a placeholder for a year.

  1. Click Startand then click run.
  2. Type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.
  3. When System summary is selected in the navigation pane, search for processor under item in the details pane. Note the value.
    • If the value that corresponds to processor starts with x 86, the computer is running a 32-bit version of Windows.
    • If the value that corresponds to processor starts with ia64 or AMD64, the computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows.
