How to check version of Windows? (32-bit or 64-bit )


The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than the 32-bit version. Follow the steps in the sections below to find out if your PC is running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows and what edition of Windows is on your PC.

Computers running Windows XP
·         Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
·         If "x64 Edition" is listed under System, you’re running the 64-bit version ofWindows XP.
·         If you don’t see "x64 Edition" listed under System, you’re running the 32-bit version of Windows XP.
The edition of Windows XP you're running is displayed under System near the top of the window.
Computers running Windows Vista or Windows 7
·         Click the Start button, right-click Computer, and then click Properties.
·         If "64-bit Operating System" is listed next to System type, you’re running the 64-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7.
·         If "32-bit Operating System" is listed next to System type, you’re running the 32-bit version of Windows Vista or Windows 7.
The edition of Windows Vista or Windows 7 you're running is displayed under Windows edition near the top of the window.

How to capture your screen?

If you want to capture your screen simply press Print Screen button above delete button on keyboard. Now to go any picture editor like MS Paint or Adobe Photoshop and create a new file. Paste it. Your captured screen is ready.



But if you want to record your screen like a video, I recommend you to use "Cam Studio". It's an open source software which simply means that it's free. It's too easy to use and and even a newbie to computer can use it.
It can store videos in both .AVI & .SWF format.
Then also if you face any problems using it, watch the video:

If you are a Mac user you may use "Screencasting Studio" which is available here.
