[NFBCS] Viewing windows information from command line with non bootable system?

[Christopher Chaltain]

Also, a 32-bit version of Windows should run just fine on a 64-bit 
platform. IMHO, you'll want to get to a 64-bit version of Windows at 
some point if you have a 64-bit system, but booting a 32-bit version of 
Windows might help get you out of your current bind.

When I turn on the computer it just opens the windows recovery environment and I have the option to do a system restore, system repair etc. However none of these options work so I have to download a recovery image from Microsoft website  The problem is it asks you for a 32 bit or 64-bit version. I do not remember which version I have installed on my computer. Is there anyway that I can tell this if my computer does not boot into windows? I do have a command line option in the windows recovery options. I did try to go in to that and type systeminfo but it did not recognize that command. Any help would be appreciated. I am trying to repair my system if at all possible and of course I know that you cannot install a 32 bit or 64-bit system if they are not compatible.
