Hello!
I'm getting the "32 bit migration' warning.
I have a RasPi 3 with 1Gb of RAM and a 32Gb microSD, running Home Assistant OS (core 2025.9.1, OS 16.1).

Is there a way I can pivot to 64bit without changing the hardware? Or do I HAVE to go to Pi4/5?

You can just install the 64-bit image on the Pi3

#

But you should look into improving your hardware just for usability

From the notice:

More than half of Home Assistant systems using armv7 have hardware that is capable of running 64-bit operating systems, like Raspberry Pi 3 and 4. This hardware can actually upgrade and migrate to a supported 64-bit version of our Home Assistant Operating System
