I believe his question had more to do with how does he know if it's Home or Pro, 32-bit or 64-bit. To OP: Why does this have to be ascertained by using the Command Line?

I believe his question had more to do with how does he know if it's Home or Pro, 32-bit or 64-bit. To OP: Why does this have to be ascertained by using the Command Line? If you open a dos box and type SET and press enter, you will see a list of environment variables. The variable CommonProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files Is only true of you have a x64 based system. Additionally, there is only a mention of x86 in Win 7 if you have the 64 bit version: ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files ProgramFiles(x86)=C:\Program Files (x86) The second one, in the environment variables, indicates that the system is a x64 bit OS install. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that. Trust yourself. (remove 999 for proper email address)
