Windows 7 Operating

To get the version of the operating system on Windows 7, click on the Start button. That will open a panel similar to the one shown to the right. Notice that there is a "link", on the right side of that panel, to the "Computer". I have drawn a box around that link. Point to that link and "right click" on it. This will open the option box shown in Figure&2.	Figure 1
In the option box shown in Figure 2, point to and click on the "Properties" option, shown in the green box in Figure 2. This will open a new window, similar to the one shown in FIgure 3.	Figure 2
The window shown in FIgure 3 displays the type of operating system on the computer. I have drawn a green box around the portion of the display that designates the type of operating system. Once you have determined the 32-bit or 64-bit version you can close that window.	Figure 3
