:'''Note:''' As of version 4.4.1, '''Octave no longer supports Windows XP'''. There may be some workarounds to get Octave installed and running in command line mode (see Bug {{bug|54662}}), but maintainers cannot provide support and troubleshooting for this beyond what has already been documented.
:'''Note:''' As of version 8.3.0, '''Octave no longer produces or supports 32-bit versions'''. An alternative source for 32-bit Windows binaries of Octave is using [[Octave for Microsoft Windows#GNU Octave in MSYS2|MSYS2]].
