How exactly does it "refuse to install" ? If it says "mbox : Cygwin is not supported on 32-bit Windows", you may not have followed the instructions at https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin/2022-November/252542.html, which say:

I tried exactly that just now (with the second URL), and it installed OK, with the default package set. This is on a Windows 10 22H2 x64 host. The resulting Cygwin installation appears to work fine, with light testing.
