    Hi, I would say it depends on what kind of work and henceforth applications you are planning to run on your PC and what kind of peripherals you have (drivers are often limited to 32bit), I am using 64bit mostly because I run BI tools (restricted to 64bit) and need the extra kick that Excel has under a 64bit environment, this said a huge portion of the population is using 32bit and thus without any negative feedback when it comes to productivity.

    Hi Cyrilrbrd! Thanks for the infos! I'd like to run windows to test websites - 32bit seems to be o.k. for that.

    when you purchase a Windows 10 key from Microsoft you can use either 64-bit or 32-bit based on your requirement.

    Cool, 32bit will suffice in that case.
