On my work machine I am using windows 7. I have found the following...
To run a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer must have a 64-bit-capable processor. To find out if your processor is 64-bit-capable in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following:
1.Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button , and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools.
2.Do one of the following:
•In Windows 7, click View and print detailed performance and system information.
•In Windows Vista, click View and print details.
3.In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type, and whether or not you can run a 64-bit version of Windows under 64-bit capable. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.)
I open performance and information, When i click view there isnt an option for 'print detailed performance and system information'
When i right click my computer and go to properties, i see im running System type 32-bit operating system. I dont see any listing about 64 bit capable so does this mean i am already running a 64 bit version of windows. Obviously not? (its an E5300 CPU)
