Am I Running A 32 Bit or 64 Bit Version of VLC

Running VLC then looking clicking on Help then about doesn't help, this will only give you the version you have not whether its a 32 bit version or a 64bit version

If you right click on the your shortcut icon, then properties, then shortcut, you can see that this has been installed in the C:\Program Files (x86) folder so that means this installation of VLC is the default 32bit version.

If you go to the download page : https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html and hover the mouse over the download button it will show you that it is downloading (vlc-3.0.5-win32.exe)
 a 32 bit version by default.

To download a 64 bit version, click the arrow down then select installer for 64bit version.

The 64 bit version copies the files to the “C:\Program Files” folder
