[SOLVED] Differences?

Im just curious about versions of windows 10
I know there is Pro &Home
But they say “windows 10 home 32/64 bit” or “windows 10 home 64 bit” so with the “32/64” do i get both 32 and 64 bit installed and whatever my cpu is it will use one vs the other, im looking at the i7 9700k and its 64 bit. Also is the 9700k good for gaming? I know its performance is right next to the i9-9900k, i know there is no such thing as future proof but is it lol?

You would normally install only one version of Windows, 32 bit or 64 bit. When you see Windows 10 home 32/64 bit, it usually means it comes with 2 DVDs, one 32 bit and one 64 bit. The 32 bit is the old architecture of Windows while 64 is the new, with it's primary advantage being it can access more RAM, meaning it can run programs in more memory, which can be much faster. Here is a good link on the difference between the the two. https://fossbytes.com/32-bit-vs-64-bit-windows-os-comparison-difference/

You think im just better off getting windows 10 home 64 bit, i dont need the pro, all i do is game, go on youtube and maybe planning on streaming thats it, would i be waisting money if i got the 32/64 bit version?

There is no question, you will want to install the 64 bit, so there is no reason to spend more money to get the 32 bit also.
