Microsoft is officially launching the vacation υποστήριξης για επεξεργαστές 32-bit με την κυκλοφορία των Windows 10 έκδοση 2004, ορίζοντας έτσι την απαίτηση τα Windows 10 να τρέχουν μόνο σε μηχανήματα 64-bit.
Microsoft will no longer support 32-bit versions of Windows 10. Starting with Windows 10 2004, which is already available to OEMs and developers, the company is now discontinuing support for 32-bit versions of the operating system for new OEMs. The change refers to the documentation of minimum material requirements.
To be clear, this change doesn't affect existing PCs, and Microsoft says it's still committed to providing support capabilities on 32-bit versions of older machines. This means you can still buy a retail copy of Windows 10 and use it on your existing 32-bit machine.
The discontinuation of support is aimed at new OEM computers as 32-bit processors will no longer be supported by chip manufacturers and so these devices will slowly disappear from the market. And so OEM computer manufacturers will not be able to produce such machines.
Any modern computer you can buy will have a 64-bit CPU and the reason for making this change is simply because there is no demand for 32-bit computers.
If you have a 32-bit computer, there's no reason to worry, and it probably won't be for quite some time. These computers will likely be phased out in their normal support schedules, except if at any time Microsoft changes the policy.
Windows 2004 version 10 is expected to be released later this month, and the final version is already available for users in the preview ring of the Windows Insider program. The first production devices are expected to be updated in the last weekteam of the month.
