It indicates what Windows/app versions you might install or how much RAM your system can handle.
So its crucial to know your CPU build design.
Usually, manufacturers use x86, x64, or ARM designs to build their CPUs.
And every design has its own merits and flows.
In this article, Ill show you how to know your processor build, and load the right apps.
The Windows Properties also show the processor build of your system.
you might also know the CPU structure from BIOS.
