to it to see if I have 64 bit or 32 bit. Thanks Ron

It can be enabled as a desktop icon, but you can also find it in
Windows Explorer above your hard drive. What you're actually looking
for is System in Control Panel, though - Properties for Computer opens
that. It has various info about your Windows installation, including
32-bit or 64-bit.

It's no longer called "My Computer", just "Computer".
Click on your Start button. On the Start Menu it will be near the upper to
middle right. Right click on it and check "Show on Desktop".

And the reason is that it isn't yours anymore but Microsoft's computer.
Well, at least as long as you have Windows 7 on it anyway.

What a crock of shit. The computer belongs to the owner and the software
despite what it says on paper, belongs to the owner also. Microsoft doesn't
take software away from people. What Microsoft does is disable their
product when retards like yourself steal the OS and try to get around
activation.
You don't like MS? Don't use their products. It is usually the people who
cry the loudest who are the thieves. Alias, you cry the loudest. Oops.

And to see if you have 64-bit or 32-bit Windows, *right*-click on it
and choose Properties.
However if you don't know whether your Windows is 64-bit or 32-bit,
it's almost certainly 32-bit.

You wrote in this very post, and I quote:

steal the OS and try to get around activation."
No "usually" in that quote, liar. Oh, and I don't own a bong. Got any
more incorrect assumptions you care to share so we can all have a good
laugh at your blatant stupidity?

I don't think that's a safe assumption. My sister bought a Dell a year
ago or so, and I was surprised to discover that it was Vista 64. I'm
sure she had no idea what she bought or what the difference is.

And you are undoubtedly correct...
But what about the guy who cried "And the reason is that it isn't
yours anymore but Microsoft's computer. Well, at least as long as you
have Windows 7 on it anyway." - without offering a shred of evidence?
Rather like Chicken Little running about shouting "the sky is
falling".

Right. I don't suggest that anyone should assume that, and checking is
*always* a good thing to do; that's why my reply included instructions
on how to check, rather than simply saying "you have 32-bit."
Nevertheless, I'll repeat, "if you don't know whether your Windows is
64-bit or 32-bit, it's almost certainly 32-bit."
In other words, give me a hundred people who don't know whether they
have 32-bit or 64-bit and let me bet ten dollars on each that what is
installed is 32-bit, I'll end up with winning, if not a thousand
dollars, something close to it.

As long as XP remains the largest installed base, I'm quite sure
you're right. I'm hoping that won't be too much longer, though.

Take away XP and let me make the same bet only on Windows 7 machines.
I may not win quite as much, but I'll still be way ahead.

Aren't most preinstalled Windows 7 copies 64-bit, though?
