The answer that used to be here was essentially right at one time, but no longer is.
The simplest way to tell is to right-click your "My Computer" icon (depending on your version of Windows and your settings, this could be in your start menu, on the desktop, or in whatever insane place Windows 8 puts things; it might also just be "Computer" in the Start menu) and select "Properties."
Next look at the window that comes up. If it says "64-bit" somewhere, you're running a 64-bit version of Windows. If it says "32-bit", you're running a 32-bit version. If it doesn't say either of those things, it's almost certainly 32 (up to 2014, all 64-bit versions of Windows say they're 64-bit; 32-bit versions might or might not say they're 32-bit, depending on how old they are).
