In this blog post I am showing how to view your system settings, available hard disk space and Environment Variables in Windows platforms. System settings show how much memory is installed and whether the system is running 64 bit or 32 bit.
I will start with Windows 8.1 as I am working on one now:

In this view under System you can find the Installed memory RAM, System Type (64 or 32 bit system).
To view/change environment variables:
Click Advanced system settings on the left.
Click Advanced system settings on the left.
This will open up System Properties dialog.
On Advanced tab Environment Variables will show the already set up values for the system.

Hi, I wonder if you could update your instructions to include Windows 10 now? Everything else I have is up to standard but you don't say if the software will work on Windows 10.
