title: End of Life: 32-bit Windows Binaries for Infrastructure Agent
source: https://docs.newrelic.com/eol/2025/12/eol-12-04-windows-32bit-build
---

As of Infrastructure Agent version 1.71.2 (released December 4, 2025), New Relic has discontinued the creation of 32-bit Windows binaries for the Infrastructure Agent and Native On-Host Integrations.

## What Changed

Creation of 32-bit Windows binaries has been discontinued. All releases from version 1.71.2 onward only support x64 Windows binaries.

## Why This Change Was Made

This change aligns with [Microsoft's EOL date of Windows 10](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/lifecycle/products/windows-10-home-and-pro), which was the last supported OS that had earlier been available in a 32-bit x86 version. Our focus remains on supporting modern and secure operating systems.

## Impact

-   Customers using Windows 10 (32-bit) will no longer be able to upgrade to infrastructure agent versions 1.71.2 or later
-   Existing installations of earlier versions will continue to function
-   Customers on actively supported Windows versions, including all modern Windows Server OS editions, are already on 64-bit versions
-   Customers on any OS that is beyond its vendor's EOL date are expected to upgrade to an OS version that is actively supported
-   The old 32-bit binaries created before version 1.71.2 will no longer be covered by New Relic's Support team assistance but will be available for downloading if needed
