How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit of the Windows operating system?

How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit of the Windows operating system?
Generally, a computer's bit count indicates how much data it can process, the speed with which it can process the data, and the memory capacity. In order to optimize the computer's performance, the bit count of the operating system that is installed on the computer should match the bit count of the computer itself.

It means
the CPU/hardware may be 32 bit/64 bit support
the OS that is running on the hardware may be 32bit/64 bit support
the applications that are running on the OS may be 32 bit/64bit support
So before downloading/choosing the software, by the above equation, we need to choose 32 bit or 64 bit application.
