Editor to share with you what is the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Windows7 system, I believe most people do not know much about it, so share this article for your reference, I hope you can learn a lot after reading this article, let's learn about it!

On the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit Win7 system:

1, 32-bit it does not need software + cpu support, while 64-bit needs dual-core cpu support.

2. Super Speed 32-bit supports only 4GB memory at most. When the memory is greater than 4G, 64-bit must be installed. 64-bit can support more than 4G memory. A 32-bit system can only recognize 4G at most when it is larger than 4G memory. The excess memory has little effect.

3. 32-bit system is designed for 32-bit cpu. 32-bit CPU can only handle 32-bit or 4-byte data at one time, while 64-bit system is designed for 64-bit cpu, that is, 64-bit or 8-bit bytes at a time. Under the premise of the same working frequency, the processing speed of 64-bit cpu is twice as fast as that of 32-bit.

All in all, 64-bit is a 32-bit system upgrade, and all 64-bit is better than 32-bit. But for now, I think the 32-bit system is better, because some software is aimed at 32-bit, some software is still incompatible with 64-bit, and there may be some unknown errors. But no matter whether the user installs a 32-bit or 64-bit system, it does not have much impact on the normal Internet access of the computer.

Forget about the 32-bit system. It is strongly recommended to upgrade 64 to the system and check that almost all existing cpu supports 64-bit. There have been very few single-core cpu in the last decade, and very few do not support 64-bit. The configuration will only get better and better, and it will eventually be 64-bit. In addition, more and more software no longer supports 32-bit systems.

Not only can it be installed, but it must be installed!

Because a 32-bit system, if it is above Win7, you can actually identify the total amount of memory you install, and more than 4G memory can also be identified, but due to the access capacity limitations of 32-bit CPU, you can only use 3.25g of memory, and the rest of the memory is completely wasted.

In fact, the so-called memory patches on the Internet can only simulate the wasted memory as virtual disks. But now the hard disk is actually fast enough, and the virtual disk is too small to be of practical value. It's only a little better than wasting it.

Moreover, even this 3.25G is only used by the system, not for a single program. Microsoft's official documentation states that under a 32-bit system, a single application can only use 2G at most. This is a system limitation and cannot be broken. For example, if you use PS to do graphics, although you have 3.25 gigabytes of total memory, PS can only use 2 gigabytes at most.

You can see how weak the 32-bit system is!

This is actually intentional, a plot by Microsoft to force users to change to 64-bit. One proof is that his own 32-bit server system can access more than 16 gigabytes of memory.

But it also proves that Microsoft does not want users to use 32-bit, but wants users to use 64-bit. Because 64-bit is better and faster, of course users like Microsoft more.

The above is all the content of the article "what's the difference between 32-bit and 64-bit in Windows7 system". Thank you for reading! I believe we all have a certain understanding, hope to share the content to help you, if you want to learn more knowledge, welcome to follow the industry information channel!
