Does Surface 3 come with x86 or x64?

[rider2040]

I want to do a clean install of Windows 10 on my surface 3. Not sure if I should grab the 32 or 64 bit. Can someone check their non-upgraded Surface 3 to see which version of OS is installed?

Thanks!

I'd get 64 bit for sure if its the 4 GB model. Don't know about the base 2 GB one.

I thought the 32 bit version was just for backwards compatibility on ancient computers. I'd very surprised in MS shipped a PC with 32 bit this year.

Thanks guys. I used the 10162 64bit ISO to upgrade my Surface 3. I've had some instability (especially in the display driver) and was wondering if I had installed the wrong version. I'm going to do a clean install to see if it solves my issues. Just wanted to make sure I'm installing the right one. I'll go with the x64.

my 2GB S3 had 64bit 8.1 installed and runs fine

Great! Thanks for the info. If I need to clean install, then I'll be sure to stick with the x64 version. But, I installed the 10166 build this morning and all of the stability issues that I had seem to be resolved, so maybe I won't have to do the clean install.
