Hello all,

Will there be a x86(32-bits) version of Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 that was just released 2021-11-16 ONLY in x64 ?

We are currently using
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, version 1909,
and the device it runs on does not meet minimal requirements for x64.
The Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, version 1909 version was available in x64 and x86 (32 bits)

Thanks in advance ! It would be greatly appreciated to get an extra 2 years of support.

    Beginning with Windows 10, version 2004, all new Windows 10 systems will be required to use 64-bit builds and Microsoft will no longer release 32-bit builds for OEM distribution.

    Hi @GAUVIN Frederic ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!
    Agree with DSPatrick.
    And you can see this doc about the start time and end time of every Windows 10 IoT Enterprise version.
