Tips: How Do I Know if I Use 32-bit or 64-bit Versions of Windows 10
Recent computers are usually installed in 64-bit, older computers 32-bit, but there could be exceptions. To know if you’re running the 32-bit or 64-bit Windows computer, the easiest way is to right-click on “This PC” on your desktop, and select “Properties”, then you can “view Basic information about your computer”. From “System Type” in “System” category, the bit version of the system is shown.
Step 4. When the download completes, run the Kodi Leia installation pack. Click “Next” and follow the setup wizard: Agree terms; select the type of install; define the destination folder; select the start menu folder to create Kodi shortcuts in; and hit “Install” to install Kodi. Check “Run Kodi” before “Finish” if needed.
Step 5. Later you can find Kodi folder at the destination folder you just defined, and run Kodi from Start menu or with the shortcuts you just created. Enjoy your Kodi journey!
