How to find processor types on Windows, Ubuntu/Linux, and Macbook

 Here I give examples of finding the OS and processor types of a PC,Mac and Ubuntu:

OS Processor type OS type
Windows 64 bit 32 bit
Mac OS X 64 bit: Intel Core 2 Duo 32 bit
Ubuntu 64 bit 32 bit

On windows
open cmd and type systeminfo
In the output:
System Type: X86-base PC  says the operating system is 32 bit.
Processors: X64 Family Model tells you the processor is 64 bit






On Mac:




Then compare your processor with the chart below:



On Ubuntu:
type lshw | -class processor outputs the cpu width 64 bits 
type uname -a output i686
