32 bit PC - available new ?

[jaames]

Hi guys

Can you still buy new 32 bit PCs ?
Intending to run Windows 10 pro 32 bit.

Reason:
We've got a really old cnc milling machine here. It's controller and software requires a 32 bit PC to run.
Also needs to support HAV (hardware assisted virtualisation). (Will set programme to run with win 98 compatibility).

Clever ideas will be appreciated.

I'd just look around for an old pc (buy or else a lot of people have them in the office etc) and run windows 95 / 98 / xp etc.
Use that as a dedicated controller.

Just buy any Windows 10 64bit PC, make a 32 bit installation USB drive or CD emage using the Window Media Creation Tool and install that. License should activate fine automatically.

Any 64 bit PC can run in 32 bit x86 instructions.

Just install a 32 bit version of Windows.

I've had some things that would only run on 32bit Windows 10.

Anyway jaames, I suggest you make 100% sure it will work on 32bit Windows 10 first.

He might have to run Windows 7 or XP in that case, but hardware wise, he should be fine.

Not on a new PC, Win7 for example, won't run on a i3 7100 or newer/fancier.

Yes it will. You will just have to manually install system drivers, but the OS will work.

If you say so, I gave up cause it wouldn't and installed Win 10.
