memory access in Win32, win64 and general memory access

I'm not sure if this section is the proper or best forum section to post these kind of question, but many forum users come here and seems to be a general purpose section. Mods might want to move this thread if they consider that it is not in a proper section.

I was thinking about the move from win32 to win64, and I've thought that the RAM (and disk) remain with 8 bits.

Then, I've thought if the four bytes of win32 or the eight bytes of win64 are accessed sequentially, one by one or all at once to put their content to a CPU register, I guess the later, but I'm not sure.

I performed a quick Google search but the first results didn't seem to address the issue (at least easily), so I decided to ask to someone that already know, for a simple answer.

(of course, it is just for curiosity and general knowledge)

TIA.
