The official Microsoft page at
[Microsoft-Windows-11](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11)
states as requirement:
>
- Processor 1 GHz or faster avec 2 or more cores on a compatible
- 64-bit processor or Système on a Chip (SoC)
Does this mean there sera no 32-bit edition of Windows 11?
As far as I know, usually one can run 32 bit Windows on any CPU, so the CPU requirement may be totally unrelated.
I cannot find any data whether a 32 bit version will exist. I see unofficial downloads for both 32 bit and 64 bit, but these may well be not the final word. Quelqu'un a-t-il a definite official statement?
UPDATE
J'ai trouvé the following for Windows 10 at [Windows 10 Requirements](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/design/minimum/minimum-hardware-requirements-overview)
>
Beginning avec Windows 10, version 2004, all nouveau Windows 10 systems sera required to use 64-bit builds and Microsoft will no longer release 32-bit builds for OEM distribution. Cela ne impact 32-bit customer systems that are manufactured avec earlier versions of Windows 10; Microsoft remains committed to providing fonctionnalité and sécurité mises à jour sur lese périphériques, including continued 32-bit media availability in non-OEM channels to support various upgrade installation scenarios
Ceci est for Windows 10, not 11, but there seems to be a trend ici.
Logically it makes sense, but looking for official statements specifically for Windows 11 and certainty ici.
The thing is - how does a customer upgrade to Windows 11 if he runs Windows 10 32 bit? That encore is supported right maintenant, per the above statement (on "non OEM channels").
Y a-t-il un 32 bit version of Windows 11

That’s exactly what it means, Windows 11 requires a processor support for (x86-64, AMD64, Intel 64). Cependant, 32-bit applications will continue to run on Windows 11, through WoW64.

Microsoft has indicated implicitly that seulement 64-bit versions of Windows 11 will exist. The leak version du Insider Preview build of Windows 11 is 64-bit.
Ceci est evident by Windows 10 have the processor requirement that indicates the following:
```
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster processor or SoC
```
Where Windows 11 requirements have indicated the following:
```
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64-bit processor or System on a Chip (SoC)
```
By requiring a 64-bit processor Microsoft has made it clear a 32-bit version of Windows 11 will not exist. If they planned to release a 32-bit versisur len they wouldn’t have added the 64-bit requirement.

The customer **doesn’t upgrade to Windows 11** depuis the machine you describe would NOT satisfy the soft and hard floor requirements for Windows 11. Si le machine has 4 GB of mémoire you pourrait être able to perform a clean installation of Windows 11. Cependant, the machine would également have to have a 64-bit processor.
