Can Java detect the GPU version? Incompatible 32-bit Intel GPU drivers are the only problem that I'm aware of. Then again, it's 2017. We've had 64-bit operating systems for Windows for about 14 years now, and it being the default since Win8 was released. It just amazes me how slow some companies are to adopt. We're not talking about massive financial systems here, after all.
Bigger issue here is that java.com detects the browser, not the OS, for determining build version. IE/Edge is 32-bit, Mozilla still lists Firefox 64-bit as "beta", and you still have to manually get the 64-bit version of Chrome.
