Putting more than 4GB in a 32 bit Win 7 machine was pointless.

Not sure if the same applies to Win 10/32 bit.

Of course it does, any 32bit system can only use about 3.2GB of RAM.

With Linux that is per process. So multi-processing can use all the memory.
Don't know about windows.

Surely the kernel can only 'see' 4Gb of memory on a 32-bit machine so
it can't hand more than a *total* of 4Gb to all the processes it's
managing. That is unless there's some clever memory management
hardware in addition to the 32-bit addressing.
