Windows may seem like one operating system, but it has several layers. Beyond the Home, Pro, Enterprise, and other versions, Windows
comes in two flavors: 32-bit and 64-bit. The installed version depends on the PC’s hardware as well as on your own preferences during
installation. This detail is important to know when obtaining new software, because some programs are written specifically as 32-bit or 64- bit flavors.
To determine which Windows version is installed on the PC, press the Win+Break keyboard combination. If the Break key isn’t available on the keyboard, tap the Windows key and type System. Choose the System Control Panel item from the search results.
The System window shows information about Windows, including the version and whether it’s 32-bit or 64-bit.
The version number is found below the Windows Edition heading in the System window. The flavor is found under the System heading, labeled System Type.
