Windows 10: Installing Win10 x86 on NEW Computers!?!?!

Hello All, I've got a client that has the need to purchase NEW machines that can run Win10 x86. They can't run x86 apps in Compatibility Mode, it has to be x86 OS. This chart from Intel makes it seem like most newer processors don't support x86 OS's: Does My Intel(R) Processor Support Microsoft Windows(R) 10? Our Dell Rep says (and I've confirmed on some Optiplex 3080 Micros) that all newer Dell BIOS' don't allow for Legacy Booting to INTERNAL devices, only EXTERNAL devices! Thought about trying to simply run the software in Compatibility Mode, but the software my client is running controls a specific device. The device manufacturer states that the software "cannot run on any OS other than a x86 OS." When I questioned them about running it in "compatibility mode" on a Win10 x64 machine, they explained that they've tested that and have found 'significant' issues with doing so. When asking about running the software in a VM on an x64 machine, they suggested that "the software is much too robust to be properly run from a VM on a standard windows desktop". It's an older piece of hardware that really needs to be replaced, but it has a value of over $400K. So....the client certainly isn't interested in replacing it anytime soon. So here I am....looking for ways to run Win10 x86 on a machine that's new enough to hold a warranty. I don't want to fight an older machine. We're stuck right now as it is because the current machine's mobo died (an old eMachine...don't get me started) and I can't even find parts for it. lol HALP!

Win10: windows update stuck at never ending loop ?

When in win10:

• Update&security -> Windows update -> Finding update... .... .... ....

Planning to download the latest Win10.ISO (vers.1803) and manually update:
- Then wait that my ordered new SSD arrives and clone the old HDD to it.
