Alright guys it's me again with a stupid question but pretty simple imo... I recently got a new pc, and something was wrong with windows and it wouldn't boot (at all even safe mode) so I put Windows 7 on it again, and it's working fine now, but when I was installing it I didn't know if it was 32 or 64 bit so I went the safe way and installed the 32 bit version... And than I thought if it
was 64 bit and I messed up theinstall... So is there a way to tell? It runs fine with 32bit, so would a 64 bit computer run 32bit os? Is the version of windows just what chooses if it is 32 bit or not?
Stupid question, but 5 hanks for any help.

AlienFreek01 AlienFreek01 if you plan on having more than 4gb RAM you have to upgrade to 64bit, although I'd update regardless, its just better.

Now it isn't necessary at all to put 64bit on that system but if you plan on upgrading passing 4GB+ you will need to
