Greetings, Hayford! My name is Arif, and I will assist you today.
I’m sorry to inform you that, unfortunately, Windows 11 is not available for 32-bit systems. Microsoft designed Windows 11 to run exclusively on 64-bit architectures.
Therefore, if your laptop is 32-bit, you will not be able to download or install Windows 11.
If you want to upgrade your system, you would need to have a compatible 64-bit processor, at least 4 GB of RAM, and 64 GB of storage space, among other system requirements.
For more information check the below link and the Windows 11 download link:

Warm Regards,

Is Windows 11 Pro free?
Is Windows 11 Pro better than Windows 11?
How much does it cost to upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11?
I run a dos based program that's irreplaceable on Windows 10 32 bit desktops in my office. Is there a "hack" to make 32bit desktops to run windows 11 so I can get the latest windows and still run my dos program?
I don't mind continuing on windows 10 for the foreseeable future but when do you think the browsers will stop updating on windows 10 cuz then I'd have no choice if certain websites won't support old browsers...but if I upgrade to 64bit windows 11 pcs, then my DOS based program won't work
Does anyone know where I can find a credible ISO download of the abovementioned I would appreciate that thank you.
Hi Mahesh,
I am Sumit here to assist you with this question.
Windows 11 requires minimum of 4GB of RAM, hence there is no 32-bit version of Windows 11. Windows 11 also does not run on maximum of PCs which are very old, and had 32-bit version installed by default.
Hope that helps.
Hi Sumit,
Thanks a lot for your response. That very much answers my question.
Thank you very much.
This is incorrect. I tried this and I get zero option to choose edition. My story:
Had Windows 10 (physical key) -> Upgraded to Windows 11 Home -> Then paid for a 11 Pro Upgrade. I upgraded my hardware and did a fresh install.
I thought it would auto detect the version of the key. It did not. I tried multiple times, agonizingly multiple times to get this to upgrade to 11 Pro like I had paid for, even going to my order history on my MS Account (all this gave me was an invoice - no keys no nothing).
Got in contact with MS Support only to tell me to download the ISO for Mult-version. He have me a whole lot of instructions, but nothing I wouldn't have known in the first place. Ran setup, went through all the rigmarole and options for keeping apps and files, and what does it tell me?
"To re cap you have chosen to:
- Install Windows 11 Home
-Keep personal files and Apps?
I made no such choice. No boxes, no ticking, no nothing. There is literally no option for choosing your version.
THANK YOU
