Check if windows is 64 or 32 bit using WMI

This code snippet requires reference to System.Management DLL:

var obj = new ManagementObjectSearcher("Select * FROM Win32_OperatingSystem");
var col = obj.Get();
foreach (var mgn in col)
     {
     string arch = mgn["OSArchitecture"].ToString();
     return arch.Contains("64");
     }
return false;
