    Despite public builds of Windows 11 being x86_64/ARM64-Only, there were internal compiles of build 22000.1 for the IA-32 architecture (and I guess for ARM32 too).

    Did any of these 32-bit-only compiles ever leak or end up outside Microsoft somehow?
    I wonder how usable would a 32-bit Windows 11 be.

    Is it possible to get ahold of one of these 32-bit compiles from any branch?

    No full 32-bit build ever leaked then... Maybe in the near future.

    I don't understand why the use case for that still is. Windows 11 on those crappy 4GB RAM 32GB eMMC Intel Atom tablets? And, like, do what with that? That kind of hardware is obsoleted for a long time now, I'd say it was obsolete since launch, plus a lot of software is going x64-only lately.

    Even those crappy Atom tablets are x86-64 nowadays lol.

    Those will have at least a 64GB emmc, my 8-9 year old T100TA (32GB emmc and 2GB RAM) is running 19044.1415 x86 and probably never will see win 11, although in WU it says it's not yet compatible:D
