Processor may be of 32-bit Instruction set and of 64-Bit instruction set.
Softwares may be made based on this Bits i.e Softwares / Operating System may be compaitable either for 64 or 32Bit Processor.
We can only run softwares based the Operating System's Bit, i.e only 32-Bit software on a 32-Bit Operating System.
Actually the 32-Bit or 64 Bits refers to the Instruction Set in a Processor.
On a 64-bit Processor - We can install both 32-Bit as Well as 64-Bit Operating System, whereas in the case of a 32-Bit Processor we can only install a 32-Bit operating System.

-> Right Click Computer
-> Properties
In the System Information window you can only find the Processor Name and Model number but not the Bit of Processor.
But you can see the Bit of Operating System Installed - Is not actually the Processors Bit.
Here in the Below Image of System Information window you can see
System Type: 32 Bit Operating System
This does n't mean that the Processor is 32 Bit because
On a 64-bit Processor - We can install both 32-Bit as Well as 64-Bit Operating System, whereas in the case of a 32-Bit Processor - we can only install a 32-Bit operating System.
