Ako ste nedavno kupili računalo, po svoj prilici imate 64-bitnu verziju sustava Windows 10 . Za razliku od 32-bitne ( x86 ) instalacije sustava Windows koja je dopuštala instalaciju samo 32-bitnih programa, 64-bitna ( x64 ) instalacija sustava Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} omogućuje instalaciju programa i 32-bitne i 64-bitne arhitekture. Sada, za poboljšanje vašeg iskustva u sustavu Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} za vrhunsku izvedbu, korisnici bi mogli htjeti odrediti je li instalirani program 32-bitni ili 64-bitni tip. Na sreću, lako je otkriti je li instalirana aplikacija 32-bitna ili 64-bitna.

Razlika između 32-bitne i 64-bitne arhitekture

Windows trenutno dolazi u dvije arhitekture, 32-bitnoj i 64-bitnoj. Glavna razlika između njih je količina memorije koju podržavaju i performanse. 32-bitni Windows i programi podržavaju korištenje 3 GB RAM-a^(RAM) , s druge strane, 64-bitni Windows i programi podržavaju više od 4 GB RAM-a^(RAM) i nude dodatne sigurnosne pogodnosti. Zbog toga bi 64-bitna aplikacija na 64-bitnom sustavu Windows^(Windows) mogla raditi malo brže. Također, 64-bitni Windows i programi obično su veće veličine od 32-bitnih. Posjetite ovaj post da biste saznali više o razlici između 32-bitnog i 64-bitnog sustava Windows .

Nadogradnja 32-bitnih aplikacija na 64-bitne

Izvorno, korisnik ne može nadograditi 32-bitnu instalaciju sustava Windows^(Windows) na 64-bitnu. Sličan^(Similar) je slučaj i s aplikacijama, stoga ćete morati deinstalirati 32-bitnu aplikaciju, a zatim instalirati 64-bitnu, ako je dostupna.

32-bitna ili 64-bitna aplikacija – kako^{(– How)} prepoznati?

U ovom vodiču provest ćemo vas kroz različite načine da odredite je li softver ili program koji je instaliran na vašem sustavu Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} 64-bitna ili 32-bitna arhitektura. Možete slijediti ove metode da biste provjerili je li aplikacija 64-bitna ili 32-bitna.

1. Korištenje upravitelja zadataka
2. Analizirajući njegova svojstva
3. Korištenje File Explorera
4. Provjera izbornika O ili Pomoć

Pogledajmo ove metode detaljno.

1) Provjerite je li aplikacija 32-bitna ili 64-bitna pomoću upravitelja zadataka^{(Using Task Manager)}

1] Otvorite izbornik ' Start' i potražite ' Task Manager '. Zatim kliknite gornji rezultat da biste otvorili aplikaciju. Ili pokušajte na najbrži način doći do toga pomoću ovog tipkovničkog prečaca – ' Ctrl + Shift + Esc’ .

2] Kliknite karticu " Detalji"^(Details’) .

3] Sada desnom tipkom miša kliknite zaglavlje stupca i odaberite opciju ' Odaberi stupce^{(Select Columns)} '.

4] U prozoru ' Odaberi stupce^{(Select Columns)} ' označite opciju ' Platforma'^{(Platform’)} i pritisnite gumb ' U redu'^(OK’) .

5] Ova radnja dodaje stupac platforme u Upravitelj zadataka^{(Task Manager)} , tako da možete potvrditi 64-bitne i 32-bitne aplikacije koje se pokreću na vašem računalu. Za svaku pokrenutu aplikaciju ili proces, ovaj stupac govori je li 32-bitni ili 64-bitni.

Nakon što su gore navedeni koraci dovršeni, razumjet ćete arhitekturu aplikacija koje se pokreću na vašem sustavu.

Pročitajte^(Read) : Razlika između mapa Program Files (x86) i Program Files^{(Difference between Program Files (x86) and Program Files folders)} .

2) Provjerite je li aplikacija 64-bitna ili 32-bitna, analizirajući njena svojstva

Druga metoda koja izvrsno radi za provjeru arhitekture aplikacije je analiza svojstava izvršne datoteke tog programa. Prati ove korake:

1] Pronađite^(Locate) datoteku pokretača (*.exe) ili jedan od njezinih prečaca.

2] Sada kliknite desnom tipkom miša na nju i odaberite " Svojstva"^{(Properties’)}

3] Idite na karticu " Kompatibilnost"^{(Compatibility’)} .

4] Sada potvrdite okvir " Pokreni ovaj program u načinu kompatibilnosti za^{(Run this program in compatibility mode for)} " i otvorite padajući popis. Napomena, ako ovaj padajući popis počinje sa sustavom Windows Vista^{(Windows Vista)} , tada je aplikacija koju ste odabrali 64-bitna aplikacija. Ako popis počinje sa Windows 95 , tada je aplikacija koju ste odabrali 32-bitna aplikacija.

U ovom primjeru, popis počinje sa Windows 95 , tako da nije 64-bitna aplikacija već 32-bitna.

NAPOMENA:^(NOTE:) Nemojte primjenjivati ​​postavku kompatibilnosti i zatvorite prozor " Svojstva"^{(Properties’)} bez ikakvih promjena.

3) Provjerite je li aplikacija 64-bitna ili 32-bitna pomoću File Explorera^{(File Explorer)}

Možete slijediti ove korake:

1] Idite na ' File Explorer '

2] U lijevom navigacijskom oknu kliknite na ' Ovo računalo^{(This PC)} '

3] U odjeljku " Uređaji i upravljački programi^{(Devices and drivers)} " dvaput kliknite pogon " Windows (C:)" na kojem je instaliran Windows 10 .

4] Potvrdite^(Confirm) 64-bitne aplikacije koje otvaraju mapu Programs Files i 32-bitne aplikacije koje otvaraju mapu Programs Files ( x86 ).

Obično, kada je aplikacija ili program instaliran na sustavu Windows 10^{(Windows 10)} , nalazi se u jednoj od sljedećih mapa na C pogonu: Programske datoteke^{(Program Files)} ili Programske datoteke (x86)^{(Program Files (x86))} .

64-bitne aplikacije obično se instaliraju u mapu "C:Program Files", dok se 32-bitne aplikacije same instaliraju u mapu "C:Program Files (x86)".

Ali postoje neke iznimke od ovog pravila. Na primjer, 64-bitna verzija Google Chromea^{(Google Chrome)} instalira se u mapu "C:Program Files (x86)". Nismo uspjeli pronaći razlog za ovu iznimku, postoje šanse da ćete naići na druge 64-bitne aplikacije koje rade isto.

4) Provjerite izbornik O ili Pomoć

Nekoliko aplikacija također navodi jesu li 32-bitne ili 64-bitne u svom izborniku "O ili Pomoć". Google Chrome , na primjer, možete otići na njegov ' Izbornik postavki'^{(Settings Menu’)} i kliknuti na ' Pomoć'^(Help’) , a zatim ići na ' O Google Chromeu'^{(About Google Chrome’)} . Ovo otvara novu karticu koja sadrži pojedinosti o broju verzije i arhitekturi aplikacije.

Ali ovo nije vrlo pouzdano rješenje jer nije standardna metoda programera softvera da ove informacije uključe u svoje aplikacije. Također, trenutno vrlo malo aplikacija nudi arhitekturu aplikacije u svojim informacijama o O i pomoći^(Help) .

Dakle, ovo su neke od najjednostavnijih metoda koje se mogu koristiti za provjeru je li aplikacija 64-bitna ili 32-bitna, bez korištenja alata treće strane. Isprobajte ih i javite nam koji vam je pomogao. A ako imate i druge trikove, ne ustručavajte se podijeliti ih s nama u odjeljku za komentare ispod.

32-bit or 64-bit application - How to tell?

If you have bought a PC in rеcent years, in all probabilitiеs you have a 64-bit version of Windows 10. Unlike 32-bit (x86) Windows installation that permitted the installation of only 32-bit programs, a 64-bit (x64) Windows 10 installation аllows installing programs of both 32-bit and 64-bit architecture. Now, for enhancing your Windows 10 expеriеnce for superior performance, usеrs might want to determine if an іnstalled prоgram is a 32-bit or 64-bit type. Fortunately, figurіng out if an installed application is 32-bit or 64-bit is easy.

The difference between 32-bit and 64-bit architecture

Windows currently come in two architectures, 32-bit and 64-bit. The major difference between the two is the amount of memory supported by them and the performance. 32-bit Windows and programs support the use of 3GB RAM, on the other hand, 64-bit Windows and programs support more than 4 GB of RAM and offer additional security benefits. Because of this, a 64-bit application on 64-bit Windows might run a little faster. Also, 64-bit Windows and programs are typically larger in size than 32-bit. Visit this post to know more about the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows.

Upgrading 32-bit apps to 64-bit

Natively, a user cannot upgrade a 32-bit Windows installation to 64-bit. Similar is the case for applications, hence you will have to uninstall the 32-bit application and then install the 64-bit one, if available.

32-bit or 64-bit application – How to tell?

In this guide, we will take you through the different ways to determine whether the software or program that is installed on your Windows 10 system is 64-bit or 32-bit architecture. You can follow these methods to check whether the app is 64-bit or 32-bit.

1. Using Task Manager
2. Analyzing its Properties
3. Using File Explorer
4. Checking the About or Help menu

Let’s look at these methods in detail.

1) Check if an application is 32-bit or 64-bit Using Task Manager

1] Open the ‘Start’ menu and search for ‘Task Manager’. Then click the top result to open the app. Or try the fastest way to get there by using this keyboard shortcut – ‘Ctrl + Shift + Esc’.

2] Click the ‘Details’ tab.

3] Now right-click a column header and choose the ‘Select Columns’ option.

4] In the ‘Select Columns’ window check the ‘Platform’ option and hit the ‘OK’ button.

5] This action adds the platform column in the Task Manager, so you can confirm the 64-bit and 32-bit apps running on your computer. For each running application or process, this column tells you whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit.

Once the above steps are completed, you will understand the architecture of the applications running on your system.

2) Check if an application is 64-bit or 32-bit, by analyzing its Properties

Another method that works great to check the architecture of an application is analyzing the properties of that program’s executable file. Follow these steps:

1] Locate the launcher file (*.exe) or one of its shortcuts.

2] Now right-click on it and select ‘Properties’

3] Go to the ‘Compatibility’ tab.

4] Now, check the “Run this program in compatibility mode for” box, and open the drop-down list. Note, if this drop-down list starts with Windows Vista, then the application you selected is a 64-bit application. If the list starts with Windows 95, then the application you selected is a 32-bit application.

In this example, the list starts with Windows 95, so it is not a 64-bit application but a 32-bit one.

NOTE: Don’t apply the compatibility setting and close the ‘Properties’ window without making any changes.

3) Check if an application is 64-bit or 32-bit using File Explorer

You can follow these steps:

1] Go to the ‘File Explorer’

2] From the left navigation pane, click on ‘This PC’

3] Under the ‘Devices and drivers’ section, double-click the ‘Windows (C:)’ drive where Windows 10 is installed.

4] Confirm the 64-bit applications opening the Programs Files folder and the 32-bit applications opening the Programs Files (x86) folder.

Normally, when an application or a program is installed on a Windows 10 system, it is in one of the following folders on C drive: Program Files or Program Files (x86).

64-bit applications are usually installed in the “C:\Program Files” folder, while 32-bit applications install themselves in the “C:\Program Files (x86)” folder.

But there are some exceptions to this rule. For instance, the 64-bit version of Google Chrome installs itself in the “C:\Program Files (x86)” folder. We could not find the reason for this exception, there are chances that you may encounter other 64-bit applications that do the same.

4) Check the About or Help menu

Few applications also state if they are 32-bit or 64-bit in their ‘About or Help’ menu. Google Chrome, for example, you can go to its ‘Settings Menu’ and click on ‘Help’ and then go to ‘About Google Chrome’. This opens a new tab that has the details of its version number and application architecture.

But this is not a very reliable solution as it is not a standard method from software developers to include this information in their applications. Also, currently, very few applications offer the app architecture into their About and Help info.

So, these are a few of the simplest methods that can be used to check if an application is 64-bit or 32-bit, without using any third-party tools. Do try them out and let us know which one worked for you. And, if you have other tricks, do not hesitate to share it with us in the comments section below.
