Windows 10: How to check PC specs without logging in?

I have a patron who inherited a laptop from his family member, but he didn't get any passwords. I tried various password recovery options, but because he didn't have access to his brother's email or phone, it wouldn't work. He doesn't care about data recovery, so I am going to do a clean windows 10 install. To do a clean install, I need to know if it is a 32 or 64 bit machine. But since I can't login to the laptop, I cannot go into settings to check the specs. Is there a way to check a PC's specs without logging in?
