Whether you are playing Minecraft, developing Android apps or using browser plugins you need Java installed. If you've running Windows 10 x64 then not only do you need Java but 64-bit Java.

This quick guide covers how to download and install Java 64-bit to take advantage of all the hardware in your computer.

There are other things to take into consideration and if you really want to dig into this subject more I suggest this post from HowToDoInJava titled Difference between 32-bit java vs. 64-bit java here is a quick bit from there:
Strictly speaking, on a 32-bit CPU architecture machine, you should install 32-bit java/JRE. On the other hand, on a 64-bit CPU architecture machine, you are free to choose between 32-bit java/JRE and 64-bit java/JRE.
