I'm moving my BBS from a laptop to 2 mini PCs. 1 4GB 128GB SSD for Win 10 32 bit and a 16 GB 1TB SSD for a win 11 media streamer and handler of ssh as
well. I might move the apache server from win10/32 to win11 as well to save
up some resources on the former. Both are N100s.

Apache on Windows? That's just wrong.

I'm moving my BBS from a laptop to 2 mini PCs. 1 4GB 128GB SSD for Win 10 32 bit and a 16 GB 1TB SSD for a win 11 media streamer and handler
of ssh as well. I might move the apache server from win10/32
to win11 as well to save up some resources on the former. Both are
N100s.

Does anyone know of mini-pcs I could install win 10 32 bit on? It would need to be 4 core 4 thread and support 4GB of RAM and a gen 3 NvME SSD or better.
My N100s won't support it due to drivers and hardware incompatibility with 32 bit OSes. If there is a mini PC with 4 core 8 threads for not too much, I could run it in a VM, but I'd really like to use bare metal hardware. Right now, I'm relying on a laptop. I live in a Studio apartment and don't have
room for a normal or even SFF pc.
