Anticipating Windows 12: Enhancements We Long For
the Y2K38 problem meant that computers running on a 32-bit processer would fail in the year 2038,so is better for Microsoft to end support for 32 bit processor and make 32 bit processor obsolete.
I get why people are eager to move on from 32-bit, but retiring it completely isn’t that simple. There are still countless devices like routers, medical equipment, point-of-sale systems running stable 32-bit operating systems. In many low-resource settings or legacy environments, 32-bit remains reliable, efficient, and well-understood. Instead of forcing obsolescence, we should prioritize patching critical issues like Y2K38 and supporting hybrid compatibility. Not every system needs to chase the latest architecture to stay useful. Plus, let’s not forget most older computers still run on x86 hardware. If Microsoft phases out support too aggressively, it risks alienating users who rely on these systems. That opens the door for Linux, which continues to support lightweight and legacy hardware with far more flexibility. This isn’t just a technical decision it’s a strategic one that affects accessibility, sustainability, and user trust.
Hence Microsoft should consider bringing back x86 architecture.
I just hope that Windows 12 does not get bundled with a lot of AI features otherwise it would affect comparability with 4GB or even 8GB systems.
At the point you have a 4Gb Pc I think its time to upgrade your ram. I have 64Gb its overkill but 4Gb is way to small
I was talking about the lower end/legacy hardware which cannot handle a lot of AI Features or Microsoft should make a lighter version of Windows just like what they had done with the Windows for Fundamental and legacy PCs (XP Based) as there lots of consumers who do not want these AI features and prefer a cleaner/less bloatware operating systems. And Sadly Windows 10 is ending support tmrw there would be a lot of e-wastes.
