I know the above may seem bizarre, but I want to know do new CPU/Motherboards support windows 10 32 bit. I realise It will be limited to 4gb ram.
my dad uses AutoCAD 2009 (which I know works on 10 32bit) and some bolt on software that will not work on any 64bit OS and is now obsolete. So hes currently on windows 7 32bit.. hes using office 365 and this is due to stop supporting windows 7 in 2020. So he might just hold out until then. but even with 4gb ram. a new windows 10 with an SSD would be pretty rapid. I would either just upgrade existing with a new SSD so I can revert back to his old build if needed or, thinking of either of the below. would still buy an 8gb kit regardless.
Note: existing PC is i5 650, which I think still would be fast enough
