What is the difference between a 64-bit operating system and a 32-bit operating system?
In simple terms, 32-bit operating systems can only be able to run on 32-bit CPUs and 32-bit apps, but a 64-bit operating system can be able to run both 32-bit and 64-bit CPUs and apps.
What determines whether you can use a 32 bit operating system or a 64 bit operating system?
Your processor.
What is the main advantage of selecting a 64bit operating system over a 32bit operating system?
It isn't an issue of advantages, it is an issue of compatibility with your computer. The 64 bit operating system can take full advantage of the capabilities of a 64 bit microprocessor, if your computer has a 64 bit microprocessor. However a 64 bit operating system will not run at all if your computer has an older 32 bit microprocessor; you will have to use a 32 bit operating system on that computer.
What is the advantage of 64 bit over 32 bit operating systems?
The main advantage of a 64 bit operating system is that it can make use of all the features and performance of a modern 64 bit microprocessor. If you run a 32 bit operating system on a modern 64 bit microprocessor the operating system will not be able to make use of any 64 bit features of the microprocessor and the performance will not be what the microprocessor is capable of.However a 64 bit operating system WILL NOT run at all on a 32 bit microprocessor (or one with a smaller word size) as the microprocessor does not implement the 64 bit features needed for the operating system to work.Note: in the not too distant future microprocessor manufacturers will release 128 bit microprocessors, which will require 128 bit operating systems to use all the features and performance of these microprocessors.
What does 64-bit ready mean?
'64-bit ready' means the computer has the capabilities, maybe with or without modifications, to utilize a 64-bit processor, 64-bit operating system, 64-bit code, and more than 4GB of RAM.

How do you convert a 32 bit driver compatible 64 bit operating system?
32 bit drivers are not compatible with an 64 bit operating system and you cannot connvert them into 64 bit. Consult your hardware manufacturers website for appropriate drivers.
Can you run a 64-bit operating system on a 32-bit processor?
No.
How do you run a 32-bit browser on a 64-bit operating system?
Most 64-bit operating systems contain a 32-bit translation layer. Installing a 32-bit program is no different than installing a 64-bit one.
Are most operating systems today designed for either 16-bit or 32-bit CPUs?
Most operating systems are designed for either 32-bit or 64bit CPU's.
