I am working on a project where we are using a browser plugin that only supports 32-bit browsers, and I have to find out how it will work with the new Edge browser.

I found the following when searching if there was a 32-bit version of the Edge browser (source):

The Edge browser will be a 64-bit browser by default, except if run on a 32-bit processor

Is there a way of starting Edge in 32-bit mode even though I'm on a 64-bit machine?

Under C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer you can find the "old" 32-bit version of Internet Explorer.

Actually, on 64-bit Windows machines, the 32-bit applications install to C:\Program Files (x86) folder, so you'll find the 32-bit Internet Explorer in C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer folder.

Regarding Edge, it seems Microsoft sites only confirm what you already found: that Edge can run on either 32-bit or 64-bit systems. I suppose asking your question to Microsoft suppport would be the best solution.
