Again, making the life of a Computer Technician a whole lot simpler. The portable version can be carried around on a USB stick and will run without installing it first.

Speccy is available either as an installer or a portable version. This makes it the ideal tool for Computer Technicians and power users. It also allows you to save a snapshot of the system details, for later review. While other programs could offer more detailed information, Speccy gives you what you need and no more. It is a handy tool for gathering basic system information about a Windows Computer. Speccy is one of the newer tools from the guys who gave us CCleaner and Defraggler.

Maybe an overkill for such a simple task, but there is method in my madness. In this guide, I will show you how to use Speccy from Piriform to determine whether you are running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows. There is no need to download external tools for this, but there is one valuable tool I would like to introduce you to. Figuring out whether you are running 32-bit or 64-bit Windows is not difficult at all.
