Hi,

I want to install Windows 7, however, after that I read something that your computer must have a 64-bit- capable processor , so how can I know whether my computer has a 64-bit- capable processor or not.

To find out if your computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following:

Click to open System.

Under System, you can view the system type.

If your computer is running Windows XP, do the following:

Click Start.

Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.

If you don't see "x64 Edition" listed, then you're running the 32-bit version of Windows XP.

If "x64 Edition" is listed under System, you're running the 64-bit version of Windows XP.

Thank you so much indeed, however, when I have installed that programme I didn't see any thing which indicates whether or not my Processor provide to install Windows 64-bit.

Under Advanced Technologies - it states - yes to 64bit support.
