To run Illustrator on a 32-bit system, you cannot use the modern "Creative Cloud" apps. You must look for legacy versions. The last stable versions that support 32-bit architecture generally fall under the "Adobe CS" lineup.

Adobe no longer sells CS6 licenses, but if you purchased one in the past, you can download the official 32-bit installer from Adobe’s legacy download servers.

If you still proceed with third-party repacks, follow these safety rules to avoid malware.

If you manage to source a legitimate legacy version, these are the typical requirements: Intel Pentium 4 Go to product viewer dialog for this item. AMD Athlon 64 Go to product viewer dialog for this item. RAM: Minimum 1GB (2GB recommended). Storage: At least 2.6GB for a full 32-bit installation.
