What is the difference between x64 and x86 in operating systems ?
Also what is x32 bit and these terms?
There is no x32..
x64 = 64 bit OS which runs on 64 bit processor
x86 = 32 bit OS which runs on 32 bit processor
Right Click "My Computer" go to properties… you will find which processor (32 or 64) you have
You can install x64 OS on 32 bit processor but not otherwise
If you have 64 bit processor… its better to have x64 OS as it uses the processor more efficiently

x86 means a 32-bit processor, and x64 is a 64-bit processor. They’re just different architectures (not that that really means much to most people, since they use Windows anyway).

x64 is 64 bit
x86 is 32 bit
x32 does not exist.

The difference is at the basic code level where x64 can address a larger address space – it basically provides support for more than 3 GB of RAM. It requires X64 software when it comes to drivers and middleware, etc. X64 compliant software is optional in other areas.
Note: not all 32 bit will run under a 64 bit O/S.
