2. Click the General tab. The operating system appears as follows:
   * For a 64-bit version operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 
     Professional x64 Edition Version <Year> appears under System.
   * For a 32-bit version operating system: Microsoft Windows XP 
     Professional Version <Year> appears under System.

Method 3

2. In the details pane, locate Processor under Item. Note the value.
   * If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with x86, 
     the computer is running a 32-bit version of the Windows operating system.
   * If the value that corresponds to Processor starts with ia64 or AMD64, 
     the computer is running a 64-bit version of the Windows operating system.
