Determining your processor type

Determining your processor type is something you'll need to do if you have a Windows machine. Thankfully, we have provided an online tool that will help you determine this in just a few moments. To do so, follow the instructions below.

1. Select this link to open the online tool that will determine your processor type.
2. After you've opened the link, scroll down to the "automatic detection results" to find your processor type.
3. You will see that the tool has identified your processor type. This can be either either 32bit or 64bit.
4. If needed, write down your processor type or commit it to memory, as you will need this information for future repairs, maintenance, or software installations.
5. That's it! You have now identified your processor type.
