A lot of online answers to this question involved finding the windows version that is running. Not too helpful since I probably would have to google that number to find out if it's 64 or 32 bit. However I learned that there's a DOS command "winver" that reports this, but furthermore I learned that just opening a DOS window causes the windows version to be printed on the first line of the window.
