HP Recommended

I need to get the most recent HP laptop that will run Win 10 32-bit.  I tried a 250-G7 i5 10th gen but this refused to even boot with the Microsoft Media Creation Tool created USB (MBR) stick even after a BIOS update to  F.46 (latest).

 

So, I'm going to try the same model, but the earlier 8th Gen i5 model to see if the older BIOS / type / model still has the ability to operate legacy boot options.

 

I understand Intel don't officially support 32-bit on any i5 model but so long as it runs reliably, I'm not concerned.  Also, prefer not to revert back to Win 7 or 8, must ideally be Win 10.

 

So what can anyone recommend, HP laptop with 15.6" display.  I really like the 250 G7 model but what processor will I have to settle for that will play nicely with Win 10 32-bit? 

 

Thanks in anticipation ...
