Exe file
The simple answer is "sometimes".
It will run on certain other computers, if they have compatible operating system and runtime environment.

@ OP: Sometimes is indeed the answer. There are things that you can do to maximize the portability of your application, and there are some run-time environments that are darn near ubiquitous. But C and C++ operate on too low of a level to guarantee 100% portability.

I'm a little confused.
I have windows 8.1 64-bit.
That means just can run exe file in windows 8.1 64-bit with any CPU model?
Thanks

It's way more complicated then that. As the author\programmer of the application you have a lot of control over a ton of settings. But you have to tell the linker and compiler what you want those settings to be. In addition to that, if you are using an M$ compiler then any PC running your application would need to have the appropriate Run Time Environment installed.
From Win 8 64 you are able to target pretty much any previous version of Windows. But you have to explicitly tell your tool chain what to do.
