64-bit version of Windows 8.1 the only one supported

 

Feb 24, 2017 12:42 GMT  ·  By Bogdan Popa AMD’s latest Radeon drivers no longer come with support for the 32-bit version of Windows 8.1, with the company now providing software only for the 64-bit SKU of the Windows 10 predecessor.

 

While the decision to drop support for Windows 8.1 32-bit might seem to be a bit harsh at first given the fact that Windows 8.1 was launched in 2013, AMD says it’s all because only a few people run the 32-bit version of the operating system, so it just makes sense for the company to just focus on the 64-bit flavor where most customers are right now.

 

Radeon Software Crimson ReLive 17.2.1 drivers are now available only for Windows 7, Windows 8.1 64-bit, and Windows 10, so users running the 32-bit version of Windows 8.1 need to upgrade either to 64-bit or to Windows 10 to continue getting updates for their graphic cards.
