When we need to install a driver or software onto your computer, it is very confusing “is my Windows 32 bit or 64 bit?” This tutorial will explain how you can tell if you are running a 32 bit / 64 bit Windows.

What is 32 bit / 64 bit?

These two terms are frequently used in the computer industry. Actually, it is the hardware architecture of the PC how a processor handles the information. In 32 bit maximum 3 GB of ram can be handled, But 64 bit architecture can handle more than that.

you require same bit of software / driver as per your windows bit architecture

Actually, it depends on the architecture of the operating system which is installed on our pc. Like for 32 bit windows, you need a 32 bit windows driver or software.

How to determine, is Windows 32 bit or 64 bit?

It is easy to find out the bit architecture of the installed windows. Follow the below instruction to find out which computer structure are you using: 32 bit or 64 bit.

Note:  32 bit is also known as (x86) and 64 bit simply known as (x64)

(x86) = 32 bit
(x64) = 64 bit

The different version of windows can have different steps. Please select your windows version.

Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7

Step1: Click on “start button” and right-click on the “computer” or “My computer”, and then click on “properties”

Step2: After clicking on properties you’ll get a window which has listed all the system info, go to “system type” and check it’s value there. It would be either 32 bit or 64 bit, so it the your system type.

      If the full feature doesn’t work for you, you can still use the basic driver to install the printer on your computer (INF driver).

      To download the basic driver, go to ► https://download.freeprinterdriverdownload.org/download/inf-driver/hp/hp-laserjet-m1213/hp-laserjet-m1210-scanner-basic-inf-driver-win-32-64bit.zip

      As it is a basic driver, you’ll have to install it manually. Here’s a guide to learn how to manually install the printer’s basic driver.

      In which operating system do you want to install? If you install it in more than Vista OS then you have to use Windows update feature because its official website doesn’t provide drivers for that. The operating system already has drivers inbuilt or you can get it by using Windows update feature. You just need to hookup your printer and then do install the driver manually or using Windows update (it will work 100%.)

      Sure, please let us know what is the problem are facing while installing printer wirelessly.
      Simply download its full featured driver package and run that and then choose wireless connection to install printer. Make your printer is ON at that time and wireless button is also switched on.

    I have a Deskjet 1000 J110 series. I used it a couple of times. then yesterday when i was about to print, it says ready but don’t have the green check mark on it. So when i click the “print” button, it doesn’t work. It keeps on pending my files. I have the printer’s cd here, and it says it’s not compatible because of the operating system. I used it a couple of times, so how come it ended up like this?

    Im using windows 8.1 Single Language with Bing.
    Processor – Intel (R) Celeron (R) CPU N2940 @ 1.83 GHz
    RAM – 2.00 GB (1.88 GB usable)
    System Type – 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

      Green check mark on printer is a sign of default printer. So you just need to right-click on the printer model number 1000 printer and do click on “default printer.” If this trick doesn’t work then try to turn of your printer and computer once and disconnect and connect the printer’s USB cable once and then start your computer. Contact us again if doesn’t fix after all that.

      If you see “x64 Edition” listed under system, it means you’re running 64bit version of xp.
      If you don’t see “x64 Edition” listed under System, it means you’re running the 32-bit version of Windows XP.
      Here is the Microsoft reference for that – Click here
