Windows 10: Is Windows 10 32-bit going to be discontinued in Future OS

In the Future Windows 10 will need to all be in 64-bit OS because it says that future games will require 64-bit OS and I would hope that in the future that they will discontinue the 32-bit OS after Windows Vista and XP support ended and I would hope that Windows 7/8.1 and 10 will all be 64-bit, so that all PC games for the future will all be 64-bit?

Going from 32 bit to 64 bit Windows 10

Hi Edward,

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

It is completely dependent on the Architecture of your system. If your system type is 32bit it is not recommended to move to 64 bit operating system.

Therefore I would suggest you to follow the steps and check your system type:

1. Press Windows key + R to go to the run command, type "control system" and click Enter.

2. In the System type, if it is mentioned "x64 based processor" then you can upgrade to Windows 10 for 64 bit.

For more information on installation, kindly refer to the suggestion by ZigZag3143 (MS - MVP)

Windows 64-bit or 32-bit?

I am considering building a new computer and using the one I have now for a server. I was wondering if I should build the new computer on a 64-bit platform or a 32-bit platform. Anyone have any recommendations on the new system build. I am interested in the 64-bit platform so that the computer will last some time into the future. However, I have read many articles about driver issues even though the 64-bit os is suppose to be backwards compatable with 32 bit applications and hardware.

Or 64 bit system running Windows XP Pro 32 bit OS?

Also of concern is me being able to use my new 64-bit workstation with a 32-bit server? Is this going to work, is this a compatable situation.

Any and all help in this area will be greatly appreciated.

 

32-bit or 64-bit OS?

Just search. There was plenty of discussion on that.
Some time ago there were issues with 64-bit adoption (availability of drivers, etc). But that's past.

It's no-brainer now. Go 64-bit.

64-bit OS will run 32 bit applications same as 32-bit OS
64-bit OS will not boost CPU performance, but will allow all 4 GB of your memory to be used (32-bit would limit it to 3.x GB)
64-bit OS will allow DX10/11 games to run faster because of better handling on GPU memory access

Cheers,
