Trouble installing Microsoft Office 2010 for Windows?

I just got Microsoft Office 2010 for my computer. It is a Windows XP (Dell computer). When I went to install Office I got a Setup Error saying "system is unable to proceed due to the following error(s): To install and use this product, you must be running one of the following operating systems:

x86 platform

-Windows 7

-Windows Vista SP1

-Windows XP SP3

-Windows Server 2003 SP2

x64 platform

-Windows 7

-Windows Vista SP1

-Windows Server 2008"

First of all, I don't know how to tell whether or not I have a x86 platform or x64 platform. And second, how do I get a compatible operating system? Can I do it myself or do I need to bring it to my computer doctor and spend money? Thank you so much in advance.
