Dec 17 2009 | Is Your Operating System 32-bits or 64-bits?Posted by Greg Hluska in Untagged |
Between a bad case of writers' block and an extremely busy work schedule, I have not updated this blog in a very long time. However, I was digging around in Google Analytics, noticed an interesting trend and thought I would write about it on this blog.
It seems that a number of people reach our site when they are trying to figure out whether they have a 32-bit operating system or a 64-bit operating system. When I dig around online, I find a series of often confusing instructions. So, I wanted to draw attention to a simple web-based tool that one of my co-workers came up with. If you are trying to figure out whether you have a 32-bit or 64-bit browser, please open up Internet Explorer and click on this link. Please note - depending on what version of Internet Explorer you use, you may have to hold down the CTRL key while you click that link!
When you click on that link, a popup window will appear that will tell you whether you use a 32-bit operating system or a 64-bit operating system. Based on our testing, this popup is incredibly accurate, but if you have another experience, please let us know.
Best of luck and please have a happy and safe holiday season.
