Does 64 or 32 bit matter?

[KillerGirl]

Ok so am building a new pc and as much as it costs i want to do it the right way, so am going to buy a full version of windows 10, the only question is does 64/32 bit mater? right now am choosing the ryzen 5 1600, and it says its a 64 bit, now i know you can buy a windows 10 either 64 bit or a 64/32 bit should i just get the 64 bit or will the duel version have better add ons to it than the solo 64 bit would as well? , and last but not least ok wait youtube it first ok still didnt help but that adds to this i guess ( 

 ) i watched this video and as far as i know i don't need number 1 , number 2 bit locker i have no idea what that is , number 3 don't need it , and number 4 i don't know what i would need to def an update ???? like what would be the reason ? so far i guess same in the windows 10 home set up, but any one else either able to better explain pro better or tell me why i should choose pro or some one just tell me buy home

YES THERE IS A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO. 

Today, 64-bit is 1) faster 2) newer and 3) supports many more games.

Also, your cpu, if newer than like 2008 will be 64 bit so everything will run better.  don't even think about getting a 32-bit os

DONT GET 32 BIT

 

it only supports 4gb of ram

 

unless win 10 changed that idk.

64 Bit : Supports More Than 4GB Of Ram , Faster , Newer.

Right now, if you installed 32-bit, it would be like putting square "wheels" on your car, applying the handbrake, and holding in your normal brake while attempting to drive.

Just thought I'd add, you mentioned about talking for a discount. I'm guessing they are selling 64-bit for more than 32? Generally the licence keys are universal so the key will work on both 64 and 32-bit (from my experience)

Never get 32 bit. Don't even know what purpose it serves anymore tbh.

32 bit systems are limited to 4Gb of ram, cant run 64 bit programs and are all round not recommended unless you are in a very specific situation
