The media is available, and this might be a situation
where you'd use it.

If you select the 32 bit version, all you're doing, is cutting
yourself off from Adobe Creative Cloud rental software (which
is 64 bit only). Not a big loss :-/

If you have a "small machine", where Intel limited the RAM
you could add to the processor, the 32 bit version might be
a good fit.

Oh, not denying that it exists and has its uses, just I suspect not many
- because I suspect most of the users who have older more limited
hardware, and want to keep it going, probably won't be wanting to run
W10 on it at all. I suspect the "typical" W10 user won't be an
old-hardware enthusiast.

The bit before the line above, I was saying I'm surprised VueScan only
support 32-bit, if that indeed is the case, since the page someone
posted a link to says it runs on 7, 8, and 10, and doesn't seem to
mention bitnesses.

Every time I think I know where it's at, they move it.
