I need to get an information about whether my app is running on x86, x64 or an ARM device.

Answer 1

You can call GetNativeSystemInfo from a WinRT app. That tells you the architecture of the underlying device.

Answer 2

While the app is running, go to Task Manager and select the app. Then right-click and select the file location. If it is installed in the program files(x86) folder, then it is a 32bit app. Otherwise it is an x64 bit app.
