Since you are set on Debian stable, not unstable, I would try 64-bit on
each machine that has any indication of 64-bit support, and fall back to
32-bit if that does not work.
The "x86_64" machine has Buster with "amd64x86_64" kernel.
I was looking for experiences with machines reporting "i686".
Are you open to using any downstream distros based on Debian Stable? I
don't have any in mind. Just wondering.
When abandoning M$ WinXP, I was pointed to Ubuntu but couldn't find
information about using my "dial-up 56k modem". Needed information was
easily discovered for Debian ;}
I discovered that Debian is a "better fit" and now know my way around it
to a fair extent. I will stay with it as long as possible.

No thanks! My goal is Debian *STABLE*.
The homepage (https://siduction.org/) states:
The name siduction is a play on two words. The word sid, which
is the codename of Debian Unstable, and seduction in the sense
of seduce.

I've 3 laptops and and a desktop with various releases/flavors of
Debian.
Which Debians do I wish to download.
One laptop is easy as it's 32 bit i386 (yes i386 Debian near EOL).
For one laptop lscpu reports architecture as "x86_64"
For one laptop and the desktop it reports "i686".
As all three have line saying "CPU op-mode(s): 32-bit, 64-bit"
can I download only one current 64 bit release?
TIA
