Hello Welcome to SF,
Follow this link it should helps 32-bit and 64-bit Windows: frequently asked questions
Good Luck,

biggest benefit is RAM restrictions. 64-bit has none, 32-bit is "limited"
And the only reason why x64 has this "limit" is because the technology does not yet exist to create memory modules large enough to deal with the maximum supported (18,446,744,073,709,551,616 bytes). Chances are, by the time we are able to create such large memory modules, we'll already have moved over to 128-bit or even 256-bit processors.
Anyways, I use x64 for larger memory capabilities, better performance, better system integrity and security features. The list goes on, but thos are the key factors for me.
Regarding the RAM limit there is a details documentation Memory Limits for Windows Releases (Windows) if anyone is interested in looking into it
