Which Java download should I choose for my 64-bit Windows operating system?

The information on this page is intended for users of a 64-bit Windows operating system.

You can check if you are running 64-bit Windows before downloading 64-bit Java for Windows using the following link.

64-bit Windows operating systems (such as Windows 7, Vista or XP) come with a 32-bit Internet Explorer (IE) browser as the standard (default) for viewing web pages. These operating systems also include a 64-bit Internet Explorer browser, however using it is optional and it must be explicitly selected to view web pages. Note that because some web content may not work properly in a 64-bit browser, we recommend using the default 32-bit browser and downloading 32-bit Java.
