I suggest to let it as it is and check the system (if 64bit or 32bit)
when it is running.
Maybe then a little popup comes up with something like:
"You're pc could be run faster, if you upgrade this operating system
to the 64bit version of it. You can download them here if you like:
[Link]"
Even better would be:
"You're pc could be run faster, if you upgrade this operating system
to the 64bit version of it. You can do so by clicking here: [Button]"
Except, that could be false advertising. In most cases, where CPU computation is not used heavily, 64-bit is actually SLOWER than the 32-bit counterpart. Optimizations are narrowing the gap, but it still remains true.
