Thus, Windows 11 is the first consumer version of Windows not to support 32-bit processors (although Windows Server 2008 R2 is the first version of Windows Server to not support them). [ 151 ] [ 152 ] The minimum RAM and storage requirements were also increased; Windows 11 now requires at least 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. [ 153 ]
The main hardware platform for Android is ARM (i.e. the 64-bit ARMv8-A architecture and previously 32-bit such as ARMv7), and x86 and x86-64 architectures were once also officially supported in later versions of Android. [146] [147] [148] The unofficial Android-x86 project provided support for x86 architectures ahead of the official support.
Therefore, PCs running 64-bit versions of Windows Vista SP1, Windows Vista SP2, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2 are compatible with UEFI Class 2. [ 128 ] [ 129 ] 32-bit UEFI was originally not supported since vendors did not have any interest in producing native 32-bit UEFI firmware because of the mainstream status of ...
It was succeeded by Windows 11, which was released on October 5, 2021. [29] It is the last version of Microsoft Windows that supports 32-bit processors (IA-32 and ARMv7-based) and the last major version to support 64-bit processors that don't meet the x86-x64-v2 (i.e., having POPCNT and SSE4.2) or ARMv8.1 specifications, across all minor versions.
It had a century bit which allowed for manually changing the century when the year 2000 happened. Most BIOS revisions created in 1995 and nearly all BIOS revisions in 1997 supported the year 2000 by setting the century bit automatically when the clock rolled past midnight, 31 December 1999.
