Security comparison between windows 7 64 bit & 32 bit

Hi,

There are several advantages of Windows 64-bit over Windows 34-bit 

1. As far as security is concerned; Yes, 64 bit Windows give better security than 32 bit. 

64 bit Windows 7 provides advanced security features like Kernal Patch Protection which  prevents system stability and reliability. Also, in 64 bit Windows there is support for hardware-backed Data Execution Protection (DEP) etc. 32 

 

2. The biggest advantage with 64-bit is, you can upgrade your system's RAM to 8 or 16 GB, whereas with 32-bit you can use 4 GB RAM at maximum. Also 64-bit runs very fast with 4GB compared to 32-bit 

 

3. Complex applications run better on 64-bit Windows

Security comparison between windows 7 64 bit & 32 bit

Hi Frank,

Good day

There is vast difference between these two version of Windows 7 OS. Security is more stronger in 64 bit system as compared to 32 bit.64 bit system provides high level of encryption but 32 bit has limited encryption and firewall properties.

In 32 bit, limit of RAM memory is 4 GB but in the case of 64 bit, you can increase the RAM up to 8 GB, so doubles the speed of 32 bit. All drivers are digitally  signed in 64 bit.As speed is doubled the 32 bit, responsive time for any application is very low.

I elaborate all the aspects of Windows 7 64bit and hope it will helpful to you.

Thanks
