I’m running Windows 10 on a Desktop with “System Type 32 bit x64 - Based Processor”. So that’s effectively a 32 bit processor. What is the last Libreoffice version I can download from Archive that runs on 32 bit?
Update - I think it’s Version 25.8 … is this correct? If so how do I download it because my efforts are just going around in circles with no paths to versions before 26.0 (64 bit)?
Version 25.8
Yes, i thing so. Have a look:

BTW: Is PortableApps packaging no longer supported?
I surely will not start to use the SDK or to tamper with the source code, or ... at my age.
Do you know if PortableApps packaging was abandoned?
nobody tells to do so… scroll down to »Libreoffice Portable«
As far as I know, »portable versions« of LibreOffice have never been offered directly by ODF
Not really. The release-notes tell in 25.8
Support for x86 (32-bit) Windows builds is deprecated
But it is still availabe, as written as an answer by @james_h (and even contained in the alpha versions for 26.8
However: “deprecated” means, not to rely on it and “be prepared the feature may be removed in near future”
No, your processor is named as x64, so it is no restriction of your hardware. I guess you have a 32bit-OS runing on a 64bit processor.
As of July 9, 2026, the latest 32 bit Windows version available is 26.2.5.1. You can find it at the Document Foundation LibreOffice archive.
Thanks James and everyone for your help.
