Windows 7 Clean install from 64-bit oem disk appears to be 32-bit

[trohrer]

I installed Windows 7 on a new computer from an OEM disk, specified and labeled as 64-bit. I never got an option to select one or the other, and the installation went fine. However, I can't find any indication that I have a 64-bit operating system. When I go to computer/properties/system, there is no indication that the operating system is 64-bit, leading me to believe it is 32-bit?

Any suggestions? How do you tell for sure which version is insatalled? If, in fact, I have 32-bit installed, how do I force the installation of 64-bit?

Thanks,
Terry

Never mind!

Guess it helps to read carefully, saves asking stupid questions!!

See if there is a C:\Program Files (x86) directory.

If so, you are using the 64-but edition,

You can also rright-click on the Computer icon on the desktop, choose properties and it will say 32-bit or 64-bit.
