Question

Which is better windows 10 64bit or 32bit for us?

Jul 23, 2019 2:21AM PDT

Hey all,
We are planning to buy 10 laptops for our car repair and maintenance staff of the company. And we are looking to use Windows 10, but we are confused between 64 bit and 32-bit Operating system. Our staff only work is on Excel or Google Sheet online.

Please suggest us some merits and demerits of 32bits vs 64bits system.

Thank you

If the laptops have more than 4GB of RAM, 64 bit is necessary. If they have 4 or less, it's the future proof option.

I see no reason to buy a laptop that comes with a 32 bit OS.
