Steam will stop supporting systems running 32-bit versions of Windows

Had no idea 32bit was still a thing
What hardware would someone be using to not have 64bit software?

Some OEM systems used 32-bit Windows for some time. Even on 64-bit processors. Since everyone got force upgraded to Windows 10, I imagine that included people running Windows 7 32-bit and MS when doing the upgrade put 10 32-bit.

My guess is that anyone and everyone is at minimum using 64-bit hardware, the exception would be vintage users who do it intentionally.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Sucks for people who have a retro PC for Windows XP games and the like, but obviously that's pretty niche (though there are plenty of games that don't function quite right outside of XP, so I get why some people would insist on it for 2000s games). This doesn't seem particularly onerous, though one never likes seeing compatibility get broken just because something's old.

I didn't even use a 32 bit version of Windows 7, you have to go back to the XP days last time i did, i doubt there will be many still using 32 bit Windows.
