Selecting 32-bit or 64-bit

To check if you are currently running a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system simply right-click on “My Computer” and select “Properties” in the menu displayed. The currently installed system will be displayed under “System”.

Important: The 64-bit editions of Windows require a system with a 64-bit processor and 64-bit system drivers. Before installing, please confirm that your system, applications, and devices are compatible with the 64-bit edition of Windows.

Note: Your back-up disc must match your current system type. 32-bit versions are only valid for 32-bit systems and 64-bit versions only for 64-bit systems.
