What do I need to do to upgrade to a 64-bit operating system ?

  • On Windows: If your computer has a 64-bit processor, then you can upgrade to a 64-bit version of Windows. If your computer does not have a 64-bit processor, you may need to upgrade to a new computer. Refer to your computer retailer for more information.
  • On Mac OS: Mac OS X Lion and above are already 64-bit capable, which enables leveraging of more than 4 GB of RAM. If you intend to work on big projects, you can just add some RAM and you will start seeing the benefits of the 64-bits support.
    To determine if you are running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of OS X, open a Terminal and type: uname -a
    If you want to run OSX using 64 bits kernel, hold 6 and 4 keys during startup.





What if I change my computer or operating system ?
