Most people use a computer very often, but have no idea how to find out which version of Windows is installed on a computer or laptop. However, sometimes even an advanced user may not know whether he has 32 or 64 bits “under the hood”.
For example, at work, you always use your computer to perform certain functions while working in the same programs. At the same time, it somehow doesn’t occur to you to think about which version of Windows you are using. In general, this is not so important, unless it comes to or some specific actions that require accurate information about the OS.
Most begin to look for information about this on the Internet, scoring in the search bar the question of interest to them. However, finding out the bit depth of Windows is much easier than it seems at first glance. There are several ways to do this.
