Three simple functions I saw the basis of a few ways back. Nothing special. Just good for reference. To test if a system is x86, run this:
function Isx86
{
switch([IntPtr]::Size)
{
4
{
$true
}
8
{
$false
}
}
}
To test if a system is x64, use this approach:
function Isx64
{
switch([IntPtr]::Size)
{
4
{
$false
}
8
{
$true
}
}
}
Another way to approach it:
function Get-ProcessorBitWidth
{
switch([IntPtr]::Size)
{
2
{
return 16
}
4
{
return 32
}
8
{
return 64
}
}
}
Much more complex tricks can be done, but, these are good to know about.
