The terms 32-bit(x86) and 64-bit(x64) refers to the way a computer's processor (also called a CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system. 

System Type tells you whether you're using the 32-bit version of Windows 10 or the 64-bit version. It also tells you whether your PC is compatible with the 64-bit version or not.

The 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor indicates you're using a 64-bit version of Windows 10 on a 64-bit processor.

The 32-bit operating system, x64-based processor indicates you're using a 32-bit version of Windows 10, but you could install the 64-bit version on your hardware if you preferred.

Generally speaking, to run a 64-bit version of Windows, your computer must have a 64-bit-capable processor. 64-bit versions of Windows can run 32-bit software, but 32-bit versions of Windows can’t run 64-bit software. 

 

Way 1: Use Windows logo+Pause Break keys on the keyboard to open system.

 

Way 2: 

Step 1: Open Settings, then click on the System icon. 

Step 2: Select About on the left side.

Look under PC for System type to see if you're running a 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows 

Way 3: 

Step1: Press Win + R keys to open the Run dialog, type msinfo32, and hit Enter.

Step 2: In System Summary, look to see if your System Type on the right side is either an x64-based PC or an x86-based PC.

 

Way 4: Open Command Prompt window.

In the command prompt, type systeminfo, and press Enter.

Step 2: Move your cursor to the top edge of the Start Menu so your cursor looks like a double-sided arrow.

Step 3: Click and drag up or down to resize the Start Menu.

Step 4: Let go.

Change the width of the Start menu

Step 1: Click on the Start Menu button. It's the Windows icon in the bottom left corner.

Google Drive can also convert any PDF, JPG, PNG, or GIF into a document with fully editable text. Here’s how.

The process for converting PDFs and images to text is really easy, but good results depend on good source material, so here are some basic guidelines to follow: 

• The text in your PDF or image should be a minimum of 10 pixels high.
• Documents must be oriented right-side up. If they are turned left or right, make sure you rotate them first.
• This works best if your file contains common fonts such as Arial or Times New Roman.
• Images should be sharp and evenly lit with strong contrast. If they are too dark or blurry, you won’t get very good results.

The more complicated the image or PDF, the more trouble Google Drive may have converting it properly. It probably won’t have problems with font styles like bold and italics, but other things like lists, tables, and footnotes may not be retained.

Step 1: Open drive.google.com in your browser. You can click-and-drag the jpg, .gif, or .png with text from your file browser.

 

or you can click New followed by File Upload and browse to the file you want to upload.

 

Step 2: A dialog box displays the progress of the upload and when the upload is complete in lower right side of your screen. Click the “X” on the dialog box to close it. 

Step 3: Right-click on the image file in the file list and select Open With > Google Docs.

 

You’ll end up with a Google Docs file containing the image at the beginning, followed by the text extracted from the image in an editable form. The results of conversions from images files are generally not as good as from PDF files, though.

 

Note: Some formatting might not transfer: 

Bold, italics, font size, font type, and line breaks are most likely to be retained.

 Lists, tables, columns, footnotes, and endnotes are likely not be detected.

You probably know you can create and edit documents with Google Docs, but you can edit more than just .doc files. Google Drive can also convert any PDF into a document with fully editable text. Here’s how.

Step 1: Open drive.google.com in your browser. You can click-and-drag the PDF from your file browser.

or you can click New followed by File Upload and browse to the file you want to upload.

Step 2: A dialog box displays the progress of the upload and when the upload is complete. Click the “X” on the dialog box to close it.

 

Step 3: Right-click on the PDF file in the file list and select Open With > Google Docs.

The PDF file is converted to a Google Doc containing editable text.

Notice that the Google Docs version of the file still has the .pdf extension on it, so the files have the same name in the list. However, the Google Docs file has a different icon than the PDF file.

Editing PDF files can be a major hassle. But here’s a simple trick for editing them–and all you need is Microsoft Word.

Step 1: Open Microsoft Word. You can do this by clicking its icon in the Start menu list of applications.

Step 2: Open the PDF file using Word. You can do this by clicking File – Open then browse for and click the PDF file.

 

Step 3: A dialog box will appear confirming whether you want to convert the PDF file into a Word document. Click OK.

 

Word will automatically convert the PDF into an editable Word document. Once it opens, make any edits you need to. 

(Note that this may not look exactly like the original PDF, especially if the original file contained multiple graphics.)

Step 4: Now head to File > Save As. In the “Save as Type” dropdown menu, and choose your desired format.

Which file type should you choose?

After you finish converting and editing your PDF file, you'll need to decide whether to save it as a PDF file or a Word document. Depending on your situation, one option may work better than the other:

PDF: If you don't want to make any more changes to the document—or if you want to ensure that the file can be opened on any computer—save it as a PDF file.

 Word document: If you want to continue making changes to the document—or if other people need to edit it—save it as a Word document. You can always save it as a PDF file when you're done making changes.
