Windows 10: I'm confused about why my windows settings are saying I have an x64 based processor.

When I go to: Windows icon -> Settings -> System -> About, it tells me that my system type is a '32-bit operating system, x64-based processor'. However when I go to the search bar at the bottom and type 'system information' it tells me that my system type is an 'x86-based processor' which it actually is and explains why i can't upgrade from 32bit to 64 bit. I don't know if this is a misunderstanding but please help. and i also dont know how to do reinstallation and download windows 10 64bit my system specs are: intel i3 4150 3.50hz 4gbram intel hd graphics4400 also in my device manag

Hi Ammiel,

Open Device Manager (accessible by right clicking your Start Button)

Expand the Processors section

What processor is listed there?

Help me choose processor

AMD vs INTEL. Which trademark processors would be better for games? And stupid question, if i choose AMD processor does this mean i need x64 windows for full performance. And which processor would you suggest for games, amd or intel for a price to 300$. *Confused Sorry for my english.
