Finding the Architecture Type with Task Manager

1. Open your game, and then Alt + Tab to your Desktop.

2. Open Task Manager by pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc or by right-clicking on the taskbar and selecting Task Manager.

3. In the Task Manager processes tab, then find your game’s executable in the listing. The process name should match the name of the application.

4. Look for the architecture tag next to the process name.

• 32 Bit: If the application has a 32-bit architecture, it will be labeled as (32 Bits)

• 64 Bit: If there is no such tag, it means the application utilizes a 64-bit architecture.
