How to determine if your Windows 10 IOT operating system is 32 bit or 64 bit

Before installing anything to the version of Windows 10 IOT operating system on your device, you will need to figure out whether it is 32 bit or 64 bit.

In case you need it, this post shows how to determine whether your Windows 10 is 32 bit or 64 bit.

Right-click on the Windows 10 start button and left-click System:

Windows 10 IoT Enterprise 2016 LTSB Entry menu that appears after right-clicking on the start button (with System highlighted)

Doing so will start System Properties. From System Properties, look for the entry labelled as System Type:

As shown above, we can see that the Windows 10 IOT operating system running on Dell Edge Gateway 3002 is a 64 bit operating system. When your Windows 10 IOT operating system is 32 bit, you will see 32-bit Operating System instead.
