    There are several reasons for the size discrepancy:

    64-bit Windows contains a translation layer (Windows 32-bit on Windows 64-bit, or "WoW64") that allows it to run 32-bit software.
    64-bit Windows also contains 32-bit versions of various programs (Internet Explorer) and libraries (in the WinSxS folder). As noted in the comments, this is the most significant reason for the size difference.
    64-bit memory addresses are twice as long as 32-bit memory addresses, so 64-bit pointers are also twice as long. 64-bit programs that make heavy use of pointers will be noticeably larger than their 32-bit counterparts.

    It also gives you the option to connect an external drive if you dont have enough space but you'll need that external if you're planning to revert to the previous version of windows
