Further, the Venue 11 Pro in the 64 bit mode sports an Intel Haswell chip, which has made the tablet a tad thicker and heavier than one running 32 bit Windows based on the Intel Bay Trail chip.

You may not have noticed, but most Windows 8.1 tablets run in 32-bit mode despite having a 64-bit processor. That's about to change.

Identifying your system type is also important when upgrading. If you're running a 32-bit version of Windows, upgrading to 64-bit can help unlock the full potential of your computer.
