That means that only Windows 64 bit version will be available and the 32 bits operating system will be deprecated. But Windows 64 bits should run perfectly 32 bit apps.

For example I am sure that a majority of people uses a Windows 10 64 bit version and they are able to run 32 programs whithout any problem.

STOP ALL THIS BULLSHIT ABOUT WINDOWS 11.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WoW64

As far as in aware, there isn't that much of a difference between 11 and 10 under the hood. It's more or less the same code, so there shouldn't be any major issues regarding software. 11 is not to 10 what Vista was to XP.
Right, something else should be addressed

Based on the latest build available. Windows 11 is literally Windows 10 with a new coat of paint on the UI and some extra technical requirements (e.g. TPM 2.0)

At least for now that is, nobody knows how it will be in 2 or three years.

It seems pretty obvious what to expect.

Unless MS planned on doing a 180 in this department, they gain nothing by bringing the topic up. They haven't brought it up.

One of the several reasons I cannot be bothered with Microsoft products anymore.

If you think about it, 32bit support does hold back the OS to a degree, because you're doing compatibility. Honestly if you do a VM with say XP on it, you could run 99% of your 32bit games/programs with no issues.

To do 32bit support in Linux and Windows, they basically have a paralell OS running, since to do any system calls or any at all, the 64bit doesn't translate to 32bit space, so libraries need 32bit ones. Dropping all 32bit support sounds bad, but at the same time it may be useful. Though the sudden 'this doesn't work' would be annoying.

WoW64 doesn't use much space or cause performance issues when running x64 applications. Given it just works in Windows, I don't really see why you would depreciate it.

Virtual machines are a bit of a ball ache when it comes to gaming (which are the x86 applications most people would want to keep running), especially when you get to the final games of the 32 bit era.

Let's be honest, if MS drop WoW64, someone will just end up coding an equivalent and all will be well in the world again.

Deprecate not depreciate?

Like making a BusyBox for windows, but to run older versions?

I got invited to test the insider build. Very tempting. Maybe tomorrow after work I'll take the plunge....

Yes - bit of a typo there!

I think the 32-bit support impact is way overestimated. SYSWOW64 folder on mine adds up to barely 1.4GB max (or barely 1/10th of the install size). And that's after adding virtually all 32-bit .NET, VCRedist, etc, dependencies. The bulk of Windows bloat by far comes with W10's UWP crap. Hence why W7 ISO size (supports both 32 & 64 bit but not "new" W10 UWP apps) was significantly smaller than "streamlined" Windows 10X (which completely removes all 32-64 bit "legacy" support and just runs UWP). By far the biggest thing of all adding bloat to Windows is Microsoft's "vision" of wanting the Microsoft Store to become the Google Play Store for desktop and the doubling down on UWP API to enable that.
