Microsoft Windows Operating System primarily targets Intel architecture based computers that originated in 1985 as an operating environment running on top of MS-DOS. Current versions of Windows run on IA-32 (Intel Architecture 32-bit) and x86-64 microprocessors, which is a 64-bit extension of IA-32 that supports vastly larger amounts of virtual memory and physical memory than is possible on IA-32.
