til a very windows fact: syswow64 hosts 32 bit binaries and libraries, whereas system32... hosts 64 bit ones

that's because wow64 stands for "windows (32) on windows 64" and system32 kept its name cause it was just too difficult to move from when you run a 32 bit app, its accesses are being secretly redirected to that wow64 directory, and also wow64node in registry. there's also sysnative redirect...

taskmgr from wow64 runs lovely win10 task manager, but its cpu charts won't show up, and one of them will resemble windows 7 one
