Is Gateway GM5424 32 or 64 bit?

[mel2000]

Would like to upgrade to Windows 10 but cannot find conclusive evidence whether my Gateway GM5424 supports a 64-bit OS.

PC currently loaded with 32-bit Vista. msinfo32 feature shows 32-bit install. No indication of 64-bit support. However, the Gateway website dropdown widget indicates that GM5424 also supports 64-bit OS. Is there a definitive way I can determine if my PC supports 64-bit OS? Thanks.

According to the specs found on the Gateway site, http://panam.gateway.com/s/Processors/4501315R/4501315Rnv.shtml, you have a Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E6400.

The CPU instruction set is 64-bit.

"To run a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer must have a 64-bit-capable processor. To find out if your processor is 64-bit-capable in Windows 7 or Windows Vista, do the following:

"How do I tell if my computer can run a 64-bit version of Windows?
Open Performance Information and Tools by clicking the Start button Picture of the Start button, and then clicking Control Panel. In the search box, type Performance Information and Tools, and then, in the list of results, click Performance Information and Tools.

Do one of the following:

In Windows 7, click View and print detailed performance and system information.

In Windows Vista, click View and print details.

In the System section, you can see what type of operating system you're currently running under System type, and whether or not you can run a 64-bit version of Windows under 64-bit capable. (If your computer is already running a 64-bit version of Windows, you won't see the 64-bit capable listing.)"
