Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -As its name suggests, the 32 bit OS can store and handle lesser data than the 64 bit OS. More specifically, it addresses a maximum of 4, 294, 967, 296 bytes (4 GB) of RAM. The 64 bit OS, on the other hand, can handle more data than the 32 bit OS.

Detailed explanation-2: -What Are 32-Bit and 64-Bit? When it comes to computers, the difference between 32-bit and a 64-bit is all about processing power. Computers with 32-bit processors are older, slower, and less secure, while a 64-bit processor is newer, faster, and more secure.

Detailed explanation-3: -Look for the System Type option under the Item column on the right side of System Information. In the Value column, the associated value tells you which type of CPU the computer has in it. If the System Type value includes “x86” in it, the CPU is 32-bit. If the System Type value includes “x64” in it, the CPU is 64-bit.

Detailed explanation-4: -1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor* 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit) 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit) DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver.

Detailed explanation-5: -The compatibility mode defined in the architecture allows 16-and 32-bit user applications to run unmodified, coexisting with 64-bit applications if the 64-bit operating system supports them.
