However, I think there were later, technically 64-bit processors that
did not include a few required 64-bit instructions (eg, "Compare and
Swap"), so that Win-64 would not install on them.
I think the original Intel & Lenovo "compute sticks" fell into that
category, circa 2015?
A trip down memory lane.

Considering that the last 32-bit processor from Intel was the Pentium 4E
released in 2004 and the last AMD one was 2005's K5 it's a tiny minority.
Regardless of Win11's ability to run 32-bit programs, it requires a 64-bit
processor (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-11-specifications)
so when Win10 goes out of support so does the need for 32-bit GnuCash builds.
We're scheduled to release GnuCash 6 in January 2026 so that seems like the
right time to make the switch.
