So what this means is the end of 32 bit operating systems. 32 bit software will work however such as 32 bit Microsoft Office for example.  This also affects booting with your main display plugged into graphics cards older than 4 years (launched roughly before 2013), which lack UEFI-ready video BIOS.
 
 

AMD Ryzen 9 7950X,  Corsair Mp700 Pro M.2, 64GB Corsair Dominator Titanium DDR5  X670E Steel Legend, MSI RTX 4090 Associate Code: H5U80QBH6BH0AXF. I am NOT an employee of EVGA

    Just keep in mind the graphics card older then 4 years would be 7 years old when this finally does happen. By then the integrated graphics on an Intel CPU would probably be a better option then a seven or eight year old graphics card.

    no issue their, 32bit is dead anyway, and if you really need it for say running a 16bit program you can find plenty of older pc's for free lol
