Which is the latest VirtualBox version supporting 32bit Windows hosts?
Which Windows 32bit hosts are supported?
Is there a table showing the 32bit Windows hosts supported by each VirtualBox version?

Re: Windows 32bit hosts
I believe that 5.2.# is the last for 32-bit hosts. That version's help manual will show the supported host OS's. See http://download.virtualbox.org/virtualb ... Manual.pdf, section 1.4

According to the 5.2.34 User Manual:marius_1956 wrote:Which Windows 32bit hosts are supported?
- Windows Server 2008 (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2008 R2 (64-bit)
- Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Windows 8 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Windows 8.1 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Windows 10 RTM build 10240 (32-bit and 64-bit)
- Windows Server 2012 (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2012 R2 (64-bit)
- Windows Server 2016 (64-bit)
- [1] Support for 64-bit Windows was added with VirtualBox 1.5. Support for Windows XP was removed with VirtualBox 5.0. Support for Windows Vista was removed with VirtualBox 5.2.
Not that I know of, the only sure way is to check the User Manual for each version.marius_1956 wrote:Is there a table showing the 32bit Windows hosts supported by each VirtualBox version?
Why don't we start with the most basic piece of information that's missing from your post; what's your Host?

If you obfuscate any information requested, I will obfuscate my response. These are virtual UUIDs, not real ones.

Re: Windows 32bit hosts
From personal experience, though XP hosts were not supported, in fact they did work until well along the 5.0.x branch. I can't say exactly how far along because I upgraded to Win10-64bit around then.socratis wrote:Support for Windows XP was removed with VirtualBox 5.0. ... But unofficially more Hosts could work...

Re: Windows 32bit hosts
And my Win7-32bit host was running VirtualBox 6.0.x fine until recently ( x=6 or 8 ), haven't tried it with the latest .14. But if it breaks, it's my problem, not a VirtualBox one, I was warned...
