Do you believe Microsoft is going to rebrand Windows 10 to something else?

Poll closed May 30, 2021.
  1. Yes, "Windows 10" is already dated and getting long in the tooth.

    34.5%
  2. No chance, they are going to cling to the "Windows 10" brand for as long as they can.

    39.1%
  3. Meh... Don't care.

    I believe Windows 11 is going to drop IA-32 support.
    This is the reason I think no 32-bit ISO for build 21996 was made available -- there is no 32-bit/IA-32 version of 21996 available.
    If I'm right, this means that on June 24, when MS publishes ISOs, there won't be 32-bit ones.
    This would make Win11 the first client Windows release to remove support for older IA-32 CPUs.

    Build 21996 was not official MS release, it was a build supplied for OEM testing which got leaked and OEM ship system with 64-bit OS.

    As abbodi1406 posted earlier here reference to x86 can be seen.

    This would be the best thing to happen. x86 is a dying architecture and was outdated even at the launch of Windows 10.

    AMD dropped Support for 32bit Drivers some time ago.

    Tha'ts precisely my point. Today, even the weakest machines (think slow, dual-core, soldered-in Intel Atom with just 1GB of RAM) are x86-64.
    Even most ARM devices now are 64-bit.

    As for there being 32-bit Win11 builds on Microsoft's internal servers, that doesn't mean those will be distributed to the public.
    However of course I may be squarely wrong here. I'm just a Windows enthusiast.

    For example, I'm sure there were 32-bit internal builds of Windows Server 2008 R2... However they never saw the outside of Microsoft. (Unless a few of them got leaked of course...)

    I have been running this build ever since it was first leaked. I found the link here ~15 min after it was posted. I installed and as always linked to my MS account. I have never had a problem. On my MS account it lists my build number correctly, but my OS is listed as Windows 10.
