尽管我们正在逐渐过渡到完全 64 位的 PC 世界,但目前并不是每个人都在运行 64 位版本的Windows。在安装某些软件(尤其是驱动程序)时,了解您的Windows是 32 位还是 64 位非常重要。
不过,确定您运行的是 32 位还是 64 位Windows并不困难,而且您可以通过多种方式来做到这一点。在本文中,让我们看看四种最简单的方法来确定您的 PC 上运行的Windows版本。(Windows)
系统信息
对于确定您使用的是 32 位还是 64 位Windows的最简单和最直接的方法,我的选择在于Windows的系统信息。
要找到它,请按Windows + X键,然后单击System。将弹出一个新的关于窗口,首先显示您 PC 的保护状态。(About)
在此页面的中途(Halfway),您会找到“设备规格(Device Specifications)”标题。
在这里,作为您的系统类型(System Type)列出的信息将清楚地说明您正在运行的Windows版本。(Windows)
命令提示符
确定处理器体系结构以及运行 32 位还是 64 位Windows的另一种简单方法是使用命令提示符。
在Windows 开始菜单(Windows Start Menu)的搜索栏中键入cmd。最好的匹配应该是Command Prompt。与其像往常一样打开它,而是右键单击搜索结果并选择Run as Administrator。
打开命令提示符(Command Prompt)终端后,输入set pro命令。按下Enter键后,提示将返回有关您机器的处理器和操作系统的信息列表。
在这里,有三种方法可以确定您正在运行的Windows版本:(Windows)
-
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
-
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER
-
程序文件(x86)(ProgramFiles(x86))
特定于处理器的标志应指示您使用的是 32 位还是 64 位处理器。
除非您更改了 PC 的硬件,否则ProgramFiles(x86)标志的存在应该告诉您正在运行哪个版本的Windows 。这仅在您使用 64 位版本的Windows时才会出现。
程序文件
这个简单的技巧是命令提示符(Command Prompt)方法的衍生。同样,如果您的机器自安装(Again)Windows以来从未经历过硬件更改,则多个Program Files 文件(Program Files)夹的存在会告诉您您需要知道的一切。
首先,在 Windows 资源管理器中导航到C:驱动器。
如果您运行的是 32 位版本的Windows,您应该只会看到Program Files 文件(Program Files)夹(其中的所有程序都是 32 位的)。
但是,对于 64 位版本的Windows,Program Files 文件(Program Files)夹将包含 64 位应用程序,而Program Files (x86)文件夹将包含所有 32 位应用程序。
64 位版本的 Windows 向后兼容 32 位应用程序,但 32 位版本的 Windows 无法运行 64 位应用程序。这就是文件夹以这种方式构造的原因。
如果您想了解更多信息,请查看 Help Desk Geek 的文章,解释为什么 64 位 Windows 需要两个 Program Files 文件夹(why 64-bit Windows needs two Program Files folders)。
任务管理器
虽然此方法比其他方法需要更多的努力,但它还提供了特定于您当前正在运行的应用程序的信息。
- 要开始,请按Windows + X键,然后单击任务管理器(Task Manager)。另一个常见的快捷方式是按Ctrl + Alt + Delete键。
- 当任务管理器(Task Manager)窗口弹出时,您需要做的第一件事是确保您看到了完整的详细信息。在左下角,如果它显示“更少的详细信息(Fewer details)”,那么您就是。如果显示为More details,请单击此文本左侧的箭头图标以展开此窗口。
- 现在,切换到详细信息(Details)选项卡。默认情况下,我们需要查看的信息不会显示在这里。要显示它,请右键单击任何列标题(Name、PID等),然后单击Select Columns。
- 在此窗口中,填写平台(Platform)旁边的复选框,然后单击确定(OK)按钮。
现在将有一个平台(Platform)列,显示每个正在运行的进程的软件架构。
基于此,您应该很快就可以轻松确定您正在运行哪个版本的Windows:32 位将不会显示 64 位应用程序,而即使单个应用程序是 64 位,64 位版本的Windows也是显而易见的.
随着新发布的运行 32 位架构的系统数量持续下降, Windows(Windows)的 32 位和 64 位版本之间的混淆将不再是一个问题。不过,在那之前,安全总比后悔好!
4 Ways To Tell If You’re Using 32-Bit Or 64-Bit Windows
Although we’re gradually transitioning into a fully 64-bit PC world, not everyone is currently running a 64-bit version of Windows. Knowing if your Windows is 32-bit оr 64-bit is important when it cоmes to installing some software, espеcially drivers.
Finding
out if you’re running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows isn’t difficult,
though, and there are multiple ways for you to do so. In this
article, let’s look at four of the most simple and easy ways to
determine which version of Windows is running on your PC.
System Information
My
pick for the simplest and most straightforward way to determine if
you’re using 32-bit or 64-bit Windows lies within Windows’ system
information.
To locate this, press the Windows + X keys, then click on System. A new About window will pop up, first showing your PC’s protection status.
Halfway down this page, you’ll find the Device Specifications heading.
Here,
the information listed as your System Type will plainly state
which version of Windows you’re running.
Command Prompt
Another
simple way to figure out the architecture of your processor and if
you’re running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows is by using the Command
Prompt.
Type cmd into the search bar of your Windows Start Menu. The best match should be Command Prompt. Rather than opening it like you would normally, right-click on the search result and select Run as Administrator.
When the Command Prompt terminal has opened, type in the set pro command. After hitting the Enter key, the prompt will return a list of information about your machine’s processor and operating system.
Here, there are three ways to determine which version of Windows you’re running:
-
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE
-
PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER
-
ProgramFiles(x86)
The processor-specific flags should indicate whether you’re using a 32-bit or 64-bit processor.
Unless you’ve changed your PC’s hardware, the presence of the ProgramFiles(x86) flag should tell which version of Windows you’re running. This will only appear if you’re on a 64-bit version of Windows.
Program Files
This
simple trick is a spinoff of the Command Prompt method. Again, if
your machine has never gone through a hardware change since
installing Windows, the presence of multiple Program Files folders
tells you everything that you need to know.
First,
navigate to your C: drive in Windows Explorer.
If you’re running a 32-bit version of Windows, you should only see the Program Files folder (and all programs inside of it will be 32-bit).
However, for 64-bit versions of Windows, the Program Files folder will contain 64-bit applications, while the Program Files (x86) folder will contain all 32-bit applications.
The 64-bit versions of Windows have backward compatibility with 32-bit applications, but the 32-bit versions of Windows cannot run 64-bit applications. This is why the folders are structured this way.
If you’d like to know more, check out Help Desk Geek’s article explaining why 64-bit Windows needs two Program Files folders.
Task Manager
While
this method takes a bit more effort than the others, it also provides
information specific to the applications you’re currently running.
- To get started, press the Windows + X keys, then click on Task Manager. Another common shortcut is by pressing the Ctrl + Alt + Delete keys.
- When the Task Manager window pops up, the first thing you need to do is be sure that you’re seeing the full details. In the bottom-left corner, if it reads Fewer details then you are. If it reads More details, click the arrow icon to the left of this text to expand this window.
- Now, switch to the Details tab. By default, the information we need to see is not shown here. To display it, right-click on any of the column headings (Name, PID, etc.) and click on Select Columns.
- In this window, fill in the checkbox beside Platform and click the OK button.
There will now be a Platform column that displays the software architecture of each of your running processes.
It should quickly be easy to figure out which version of Windows you’re running based on this: 32-bit will have no 64-bit applications shown, while 64-bit versions of Windows are apparent if even a single application is 64-bit.
As
the number of newly released systems running a 32-bit architecture
continue to plummet, the confusion between 32-bit and 64-bit versions
of Windows will become less of a problem. Until then, though, it’s
better to be safe than sorry!
