Difference Between 32 Bit & 64 Bit Windows

Difference  Between 32 Bit & 64 Bit Windows



Microsoft Windows is the
world’s most popular operating
system for computer systems
worldwide. The operating
system is used on over 80% of
computers throughout the
world but it comes in two
different versions, a 32 bit and
a 64 bit version. Both versions
are sold in retail stores, online
stores, and via computer
resellers. To the average
consumer the choice of a 32 bit
or 64 bit version of Windows is
a question that needs to be
reviewed carefully as it makes a
huge difference in the computer
system you own.
The 32 bit Windows operating
system is the most common
version of Windows sold
throughout the world. It can be
run on most home computers,
laptops, and office systems. It is
the version that is run on most
computers throughout the
world as most systems are store
bought systems that perform
routine tasks and can do most
operations. A typical processor
such as ones by Intel or AMD is
behind the computations and is
able to run this version of
Windows.
The 64 bit Windows operating
system is an entirely different
operating system that is
focused on higher end
processor and is mean to handle
more difficult tasks. The 64 bit
version of Windows handles
high amounts of computations
and requires a special higher end
processor that is capable of
running these calculations and
processes. Most systems that
require this 64 bit version of
Windows require CAD drawings,
video editing, audio editing, and
server applications versus
normal home operations.
Typically, these systems will
have large amounts of system
RAM and hard drive space along
with a more expensive graphics
card that can power these types
of operations. A typical home
user won’t need the 64 bit
version of Windows at home
unless they perform these types
of tasks mentioned.
The main differences between
the 32 bit version and 64 bit
version of Windows is the
ability to process high volumes
of calculations, the amounts of
processes the system can
process, and the types of
applications you need to run.
To tell which version of Windows
you are running, you can go into
the Control Panel of your
system, click on the System and
Maintenance button and then
clicking system. You can view
the type and version of
Windows there and see which
version fits your needs. The
home user will most likely use a
32 bit version and the higher
end business user or specialized
professional will use the 64 bit

version.
