So i recently purchased a gaming PC and i had the option to select an operating system. I chose windows 10 and when i look at the specs of the computer it says windows 32/64 bit. Can someone explain the differences in basic terms and help me determine which version i am getting


The PC is this: https://gladiatorpc.co.uk/configure/config/65215



I have made some changes to it, I've replaced the processor with a 6500 and the ram to 16gb corsair DDR4.

32 bit windows can only have 4 gb`s of ram. If you get 32 bit you will only be able to use 4gb`s of ram out of the 8gb`s. 64 bit runs better and supports lots more ram. You want 64 bit.
