With so many high end games out there, chances are you would have considered installing 64-bit Windows in place of the current 32-bit version for better use of RAM as well as efficient usage of applications if a lot of multitasking is the daily norm.

Here is a quick way to find out if whether the current Windows 7 system supports the upgrade to 64-bit or not :

1. Open Control Panel > Performance Information and Tools.

2. Left click on “View and print detailed performance and system information”.

System check

3. Scroll down to the System section and check if there is a “Yes” next to option “64-bit capable”.

Alternatively, for more detailed assessment especially if current Windows system is XP, download and run the Windows Upgrade advisor. Get it from here.
