The Pentium Dual-Core are either 32-bit or 64-bit; see <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentium_Dual-Core>. You can run Debian 12/Bookworm on with 32-bit or 64-bit. Debian 13/Trixie only supports 64-bit. You have to determine which version of the processor you have. Check in the BIOS. If you can boot to Bookworm, then dmidecode should be able to provide the information. Notice the "64-bit capable" below. $ sudo dmidecode -t processor # dmidecode 3.6 Getting SMBIOS data from sysfs. SMBIOS 3.4 present. Handle 0x0004, DMI type 4, 48 bytes Processor Information Socket Designation: U3E1 Type: Central Processor Family: Core i7 Manufacturer: Intel(R) Corporation ... Core Count: 14 Core Enabled: 14 Thread Count: 20 Characteristics: 64-bit capable Multi-Core Hardware Thread Execute Protection Enhanced Virtualization Jeff
