Microsoft Phases Out 32-Bit Support for Windows 10

I have a joke about 4,294,967,296 number, but 32-bit users won't get it.

 

I thought they already did this years ago but either way this is good to simplify and streamline things.

 

In other news, cylinder phonographs are no longer the best sound recording apparatus !

 

While 64bit support has been on the desktop for over 15 years. Many people still use older Atom based devices, (Intels last gen Computestick springs to mind) these only support 32bit Windows.

Anyway, about time, I said at the beginning that Windows 10 should never have shipped a 32bit version.

 

Good, last time i had 32-bit was on XP.

My first 64-bit OS was actually a community stripped down version of Vista, which ran surprisingly well.

 

Mine was actually XP, I remember buying it specifically for the Farcry features

 

They need to port every MS windows app to 64bit as well. Every 32bit process is slowing down people's systems.

 

It's a decade late but you know what they say...

Now they just need to move the 32-bit system and emulation layer to its own sandbox and forget about it.

 

I'm still waiting for 128 bit and 256 bit

 

80% of all car diagnostics software still uses 32bit

 

Extreme memory user here folks

 

128 bit operating system is about more than just memory just try using your brain a "bit"
Hey my first operating system was windows 3.1

 

Only old one and inexpensive copy are 32 bits, most are in 64 bits (it's part of my hobby lol).

 

Mine were MSX Dos

At least the 1st one where i enjoyed computer (i had Apple 2 before)

 

Of course vinyl are way better !!!

 

Those Atoms shouldn't have shipped with 32 bit either. No excuse.

 

What do you mean by every MS App? Are you talking about just Microsoft programs like Office? If you are talking about just office then there are 64 bit versions of Office. Or every 32 bit app made for Windows? If you are talking about every 32 bit App made for Windows and if you are then that is not happening because there is way too may 32 bit programs out there that it would take multiple lifetimes to do. Also there are probably alot of software that can't be ported and also having access to the source code for all those programs might be very difficult because it might be lost and gone forever like the game Diablo 2 for example.

 

Please note that WOW64 is not deprecated. 32-bit support is still a thing.

 

Yeah Apple failed to realize this when they release the most recent version of MacOS.
