I'm looking at what to do when Windows 10 goes EOL. I'm using the 32-bit
version because of earlier DOS dependencies, but I think I'm now
DOS-free.

I started playing with the LTSC (Long Term Servicing Channel) version of
Windows 10 2021 - it's stripped down, with a lot less CRAP loaded on.
Reminds me of TinyXP, which I ran for quite some time. Sure, it doesn't
have a lot of the userland niceties, but who needs them on what's
essentially a server box?

As a side-benefit, it comes in 32- and 64-bit versions.

The EOL dates are interesting - the base LTSC version is supported until
2027, the IOT version until 2032!

I don't know how to license it yet, I may need to wait until my
company's Microsoft contract falls under my group in the summertime. It
does offer a 90 day eval, though.
