Wow6432Node Registry Key

The Wow6432Node registry entry indicates that you are running a 64-bit Windows version.

The operating system uses this key to display a separate view ofHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE for 32-bit applications that run on 64-bit Windows versions. When a 32-bit application writes or reads a value under theHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\\ subkey, the application reads from theHKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\\ subkey.
