Wow, I didnt even think Win10 32 bit existed.
It's still used on a lot of small memory devices. I have an HP Stream 7 tablet (don't judge...) that was a few buck extra deal with a laptop back when the i5-5200U was current. I also updated an Acer netbook to W10, and probably some other devices in the mooselab have 32b W10. The HP is good for some small games (takes a day or so to download and install windows updates), the netbook is the photo backup when traveling light with a superzoom camera of the pre wiffy vintage, it's been all over eastern europe. Nothing I'd want to run real software including gearotic on, but 32b is still out there. Big pain to go from 32 to 64, at least the last time I tried, needs a wipe and reinstall rather than inplace update.
Iirc there was (maybe still is) a free to use W10 for devices with less than 2GB (guess I'm old, remember when anything over 256MB would break W98. Heck, I remember running around 32 serial terminals on a PS/2 with Pick in 1MB and it being pretty snappy. Bought add-on software to go to 8MB, 7 for disk caching, in a PCB house shop floor system). Dr. Giggle found a reference that you need 32b for 2 to 4GB with the 1GB (3 to 4 is ignored iirc), 64 officially takes over 4GB.
For whatever that's worth.
Inquiring minds want to know if the new bolts module does /ducks/ whitworth
? Too busy to try it for a few more weeks, last minute rush before the southern migration, building shop cabinets and demonstrating that it's a skill that needs to be improved.
