Microsoft's older OS will still be supported up until 2025, so you still have a good few years before your operating system goes completely obsolete. At this point, though, you still have a few options.įirst off, you can stay on Windows 10. If your computer is running 32-bit Windows 10, you sadly don't have a way to upgrade forward. After all, if you really have a PC that's only capable of 32-bits, it's been time to replace it for at least a decade, as the fact that your PC can't run Windows 11 is probably the least of your problems. And as we said before, it's not a change that actually impacts anyone. Windows 11 takes a lot of steps to revamp parts of the OS that have pretty much looked the same for over a decade, and we're sure it also adds a lot of changes under the hood to support those.
The minimum requirements for Windows 10 32-bit went down as low as 1 GB of RAM, while for 64 bits, you had to look for at least 2 GB - and anything under 4 would probably be hell despite that.īy leaving these older computers behind, Microsoft can modernize the Windows experience further. While an entry-level computer with under 4 GB of RAM could have a hard time with a 64-bit version of Windows, it's definitely more usable on 32-bits.
One answer does come to mind, though, and that is system requirements.ĭespite the fact that pretty much all processors are 64-bits nowadays, 64-bit Windows is a tad more demanding in specifications. The question then becomes, why was Microsoft still shipping a 32-bit version up until Windows 10? Clearly, Microsoft wasn't expecting people to run it on pre-2003 systems, after all.
