Hello, I think it would be helpful if we had a System Requirements sticky/page for RPi OS. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 Model B Rev 1.2. Will it run the current (Bookworm) OS? Some articles say no, some say yes. I'd rather hear the facts from RPi Foundation. TIA.
The rule of thumb is that the current 32 bit image will run on all Pi models. Older 32 bit images will not run on models released after they were. Bullseye won't run on a Pi5 or 500 for example.
If you're using imager to flash your boot drive, pick your Pi model from the drop down and you'll only be shown compatible images.
