Check Your System’s Compatibility With 64-Bit Windows & Virtualization Using BITS Tool

More and more users are switching to 64-bit version of Windows these days. The obvious advantage of 64-bit Windows over 32-bit is that the former one can utilise more than 4GB of RAM efficiently.



So if you are planning to purchase a 64-bit Windows 7 copy and would like to know if your system is ready for the same or not, you can use the tiny BITS tool. BITS is a portable tool for Windows 7, Vista and XP to know your system’s compatibility with 64-bit Windows.



Download, extract and simply run the tool to know about your CPU type (32 or 64), your current Windows OS type (32 or 64-bit) and also about virtualization support.
If you are new to Virtualization, Virtualization feature is required to install and run Windows XP Mode feature, which is available in Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions.

Thanks for your reply Brother here your Answer

The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system.
Determine the operating system bit count
Locate the operating system that is running on your computer in this section, and then follow the steps to determine the bit count of your operating system.
Windows Vista
If you have Windows Vista, there are two methods to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version. If one does not work, try the other.
Method 1: View System window in Control Panel

1. Click Start
Collapse this imageExpand this image
Start button
, type system in the Start Search box, and then click system in the Programs list.
2. The operating system is displayed as follows:
* For a 64-bit version operating system: 64-bit Operating System appears for the System type under System.
* For a 32-bit version operating system: 32-bit Operating System appears for the System type under System.

Method 2: View System Information window

1. Click Start
Collapse this imageExpand this image
Start button
, type system in the Start Search box, and then click System Information in the Programs list.
2. When System Summary is selected in the navigation pane, the operating system is displayed as follows:
* For a 64-bit version operating system: x64-based PC appears for the System type under Item.
* For a 32-bit version operating system: x86-based PC appears for the System type under Item.

If you cannot determine the operating system bit count with these methods, go to the "Next Steps" section.
Windows XP
If you have Windows XP, there are two methods to determine whether you are running a 32-bit or a 64-bit version. If one does not work, try the other.
Method 1: View System Properties in Control Panel

1. Click Start, and 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 version operating system: Windows XP Professional x64 Edition Version < Year> appears under System.
* For a 32-bit version operating system: Windows XP Professional Version <Year> appears under System.
Note <Year> is a placeholder for a year.

Method 2: View System Information window

1. Click Start, and then click Run.
2. Type winmsd.exe, and then click OK.
3. When System Summary is selected in the navigation pane, locate Processor under Item in the details pane. Note the value.
* If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, 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.
