    Yes, although Win7 Starter is a fairly stripped-down version of Windows 7. Unless you're getting a *netbook* (and not a laptop), you should be looking for systems with Windows 7 Home Premium. That also comes in a 32bit version, although you may have to be a little more careful when purchasing the laptop to make sure it's preinstalled with the 32bit version of Home Premium.

    Curious, why do you need a 32bit OS?

    Although rare, 32 bit still exist on some laptops. I found these two on Newegg.

    Notebook, Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit, 15inch Display Intel Pentium Dual-Core.

    Newegg.com - HP 620 (WZ294UT#ABA) Notebook Intel Pentium dual-core T4500(2.30GHz) 15.6" 3GB Memory 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 4500MHD

    Same as last one, but has an AMD Dual-Core instead.

    If you don't live in the United states maybe someone else can help you using a different site.

    Thanks everyone for your help. I wish I knew more about this stuff but I don't. Are any of the cheap laptops at Walmart 32 bit? I live in a small town in Texas and the only place we have to buy laptops is Walmart.

    You would need to go to the store and ask an employee, I believe the only way to get 32-bit Laptops is through Online orders.

    I looked online at Walmart but it doesn't say on some of the laptops if it is 32 or 64 bits. I thought I could buy one online from Walmart and have it delivered here to our store.

    Why can't you order one from Newegg or any other computer site and have it delivered right to your home?
