High priority work (besides recognizing Windows 11):
64-bit support from operating systems became mainstream in late 2000's. As a consequence, both 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems were the norm until 2010's. In 2020's, only 64-bit operating systems are the norm.
As of 2021, Windows XP and later supports 64-bit Intel and AMD processors (collectively known as "x86-64"). As of Windows 10 Version 1709, 64-bit ARM processors are supported. Windows 11 drops support for 32-bit x86 processors (32-bit support was dropped from Windows Server releases since 2008 R2 in 2009).
Therefore, refine 32-bit/64-bit announcement in Resource Monitor:
On supported 32-bit Windows releases, NVDA will continue to announce "32-bit" but no longer translatable.
On 64-bit systems, say either "x64" or "ARM64" depending on processor in use.
This is a high-priority work, therefore will be included in the next stable version of Resource Monitor.
