System Properties: 32 vs 64 bit Operating System Check

***

Q: How does one check if it is a 32 bit or 64 bit operating system? How does one check system properties under control panel for download, upgrades and system updates?

A: As shown in the video...

Relevant Background: "In computer architecture, 64-bit integers, memory addresses, or other data units are those that are 64 bits (8 octets) wide. Also, 64-bit CPU and ALU architectures are those that are based on registers, address buses, or data buses of that size. 64-bit microcomputers are computers in which 64-bit microprocessors are the norm. From the software perspective, 64-bit computing means the use of code with 64-bit virtual memory addresses. However, not all 64-bit instruction sets support full 64-bit virtual memory addresses; x86-64 and ARMv8, for example, support only 48 bits of virtual address, with the remaining 16 bits of the virtual address required to be all 0's or all 1's, and several 64-bit instruction sets support fewer than 64 bits of physical memory address...A change from a 32-bit to a 64-bit architecture is a fundamental alteration, as most operating systems must be extensively modified to take advantage of the new architecture, because that software has to manage the actual memory addressing hardware.[31] Other software must also be ported to use the new abilities; older 32-bit software may be supported either by virtue of the 64-bit instruction set being a superset of the 32-bit instruction set, so that processors that support the 64-bit instruction set can also run code for the 32-bit instruction set, or through software emulation, or by the actual implementation of a 32-bit processor core within the 64-bit processor, as with some Itanium processors from Intel, which included an IA-32 processor core to run 32-bit x86 applications. The operating systems for those 64-bit architectures generally support both 32-bit and 64-bit applications.." ("64 bit Computing", https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/64-bit_computing#32-bit_vs_64-bit)

Windows Disk Partition Tool

Windows Disk Partition Too l *** Q: How does one access disk partition tool using Administrative Tools under Control Panel? How does one check for different disk partitions?  A: As shown in the video **** Applications: Create disk partition for Windows , Memory Dump , Data Corruption , Data Back up & Recovery ***** Relevant Background: " Disk partitioning  or  disk slicing [1]  is the creation of one or more regions on  secondary storage , so that each region can be managed separately. [2]  These regions are called partitions. It is typically the first step of preparing a newly installed disk, before any  file system  is created. The disk stores the information about the partitions' locations and sizes in an area known as the  partition table  that the operating system reads before any other part of the disk. Each partition then appears to the operating system as a distinct "logical" disk that uses part of the actual disk.  Sy...
