I read listings under system as regard to 'hardware' so System type there means for mine 64 bit. Therefore I could install a windows that only contains capabilies of a 32 bit "hardware" (which will run on a 64 bit hardware) or a windows which contains capabilities of a 64 bit "hardware". So I don't read that as saying what windows I have actually installed. And to repeat. Info under windows edition don't seem to tell me clearly what I have;unless SP 1 implies a Windows to use the abiliities of 64 bit "hardware". Am I correct? or what is it I don't understand?
System type tells you what version of Windows you have installed. if you have 64-bit installed the you have 64-bit hardware. If you have 32-bit installed then you have to look up your processor model to see if you can support 64-bit OS.
