Windows Operating System Fundamentals — Question 49

You need to find out whether a computer is running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system. What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From the Start menu, type 64-bit in the Search programs and files field.
• B. From Control Panel, select System.
• C. Open Device Manager and select Processors.
• D. From the Windows Help and Support feature, type 64-bit system in the Search field.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as accessing the System section in Control Panel provides direct information about whether the OS is 32-bit or 64-bit. Options A, C, and D do not lead to reliable information about the system architecture and are therefore incorrect.
