32bit vs 64bit OPERATING SYSTEM

32bit vs 64bit OPERATING SYSTEM

Now First We discuss What is Operating system (OS)?

      -    An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs. The operating system is an essential component of the system software in a computer system. Application programs usually require an operating system to function.

      -   Some Well Known Operating System (OS).

-                    1) Microsoft Windows

-                    2) Linux

-                    3) MacOS

-                    4) Android

-                    5) IOS

What Is Difference Between 32bit Vs 64bit?

      -   The terms 32Bit and 64Bit Refer to how a computer's (CPU) handles information. A 64-bit processor can handle much more (RAM) than a 32-bit processor can.

      -    A 32-bit processor can run only 32-bit software And operating system.

      -    A 64-bit processor can run both compatible 32-bit and 64-bit software And operating system.

      -    To run 64-bit software, you must have a 64-bit operating system.

      -    64-bit installation can be slightly faster and more stable. I will recommend you to install 64Bit operating system in your Pc.

        - 64Bit processor can handle twice the amount of data compared to 32Bit processor.

       - 32Bit processor can process 32 digits at a time whereas 64Bit can handle 64 digits.

       -    If you want to see which operating system you have in your computer. Then follow the step.

What is a bit?

-         A bit, short for BINARY DIGIT, is the smallest unit of measurement used for information storage in computers. A bit is represented by a 1 or a 0 with a value of true or false, sometimes expressed as on or off. Eight bits form a single byte of information, also known as an octet. Thus, the difference between a bit and a byte is size, or the amount of information stored.

-         For example, it takes eight bits (1 byte) to store a single character. The capital letter “A” is expressed digitally as 01000001. A small case “a” is represented in binary code as 01100001. Notice the third bit is different in each octet. By rearranging the bits within the octet, a byte is capable of producing 256 unique combinations to form letters, numbers, special characters and symbols.

-         It can get confusing keeping units of storage straight, but if you have trouble remembering which is a bit and a byte, note that the smaller word is the smaller unit of storage. Once the difference between a bit and a byte is understood, this helps to remember the difference between greater units such as the kilobit and kilobyte.

-        8 Bit = 1 bytes

-        32 Bit = 4 bytes

-        64 Bit = 8 bytes

             1)      64-bit operating system + 64-bit processor, you CAN run 64-Bit software.

             2)      32-bit operating system + 64-bit processor, you CANNOT run 64-Bit software.

             3)      32-bit operating system + 32-bit processor, you CANNOT run 64-Bit software.
