Windows Redstone 4 blocking use of 32bit applications

[chrisc]

Recently I heard that the upcoming Windows 10 Redstone 4 will block the use of
32bit applications.  I wonder if this is true or not?

Then I will have to upgrade my software to 64bits.  Please advise. Thanxx

The world runs on 32 bit Windows. I don't see Microsoft dropping support anytime soon. COM/OLE automation is dying off as Microsoft tries to get people to use .NET. (64 bit candy)

Perhaps my notebook will give up the ghost until then. It runs like a Beetle Volkswagen. And I cannot keep my fingers off.

Support for 32 bit hardware will fade, but not 32 bit software.

NVIDIA is ending support for 32-bit version of Windows 7, 8.1 and 10

I still prefer using 32 bit versions of Windows OS but in a VirtualBox. 32 bit hardware emulation and video drivers are supplied by VirtualBox so who cares?

Charles was right on with 32 bit software lives on.

FYI: I only run 64 bit Linux software to host other OS flavors I may need to work with. I have a 64 bit Windows 7 partition on my old laptop but haven't booted it in some time.
