[SOLVED] How can I tell if my system will require a 32 or 64 bit version of windows?

[EJ Morin]

I am going to be building my first PC soon, but I can't tell if I will need a 32-bit or 64-bit version of windows.

I have:


AMD Ryzen 3 3200G 3.6 Ghz-4.0ghz quad-core processor

Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3200 Memory

Crucial P1 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive

ASRock Radeon RX 570 8 GB Phantom Gaming D Video Card

EVGA BR 450 W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply

Anything built in the last decade (or more) can take 64bit OS.

You, having 16GB RAM...the 64bit OS is required.

Nobody wants/uses 32 bit WIn10 , which is limited to 3.5 GB of usable/addressable RAM....
