is 64 Bit architecure the same as 64 bit

[JustAskingAbout]

i was reading some answers about upgrading ram in the HP 14-d008au Notebook PC and it said i can get maximum of 4 gb or i can have 8gb ram only is i have a 64 Bit arcitecture. So i checked my system properties and i found that my System type is a 64 Bit Operating System, x64-bassed processor. Does that mean that i have a 64 bit Architecture or what do i have to do to get one?

You have 64bit architecture/operating system.

You can use the maximum memory for your laptop.
