You install the 64 bit version if you have hardware that is 64 bit. Otherwise you install the 32 bit version.

Just purchased a Dell server and received 5 OS disks that have me
confused. The disks are labled:

MS Windows Server 2203 R2 Standard Edition Disk 1
MS Windows Server 2203 R2 Standard Edition Disk 2
MS Windows Server 2203 R2 Standard Edition
(Windows Rights Management Services 1.0 with Service Pack 1)

MS Windows Server 2203 R2 Standard x64 Edition Disk 1
MS Windows Server 2203 R2 Standard x64 Edition Disk 2

I thnk the last install I saw was done with just the 1st 3 disks
listed above. Can someone explain the purpose of the x64 disks?
