Some users ask the question: “how to determine the processor’s 32 or 64 bit width.” I think this is not entirely correct, since all modern processors are 64-bit and all can work with both 32 and 64-bit Windows.

Question. Why is it necessary to determine the bit depth?

Answer. To install the driver for your device. The operating system Windows can be 32-bit or 64-bit. If the hardware manufacturer develops a separate driver for each bit, then the driver for the 32-bit system does not fit 64-bit and vice versa. Therefore, you need to determine the bit depth of your system and download the required driver.
