I'd second the 64-bit..
You mention replace, so you will be only booting LL? or planing a dual boot?
Not sure how old/new this device is... Or what drivers are needed for video/network and so on..
I would research this or at least see how well a live environment runs noting the kernel..
2.8 comes with 3.19

Research will be your friend for the best results...

UEFI will come some time, but not for a while yet...

Use 64 bit for that CPU.

You will need to enable "Legacy" Mode in the BIOS.
Press Esc when you power on... Then F10 to get to the BIOS.
Then move to "System Configuration"


This may help:

I have a HP stream 11 notebook that I want to install Linux lite 2.8   
its spec is ---



Processor   ---   Intel® Celeron® N3050 with Intel® HD Graphics
                             (1.6 GHz, up to 2.16 GHz, 2 MB cache, 2 cores)
Memory   ---   2 GB DDR3L SDRAM (onboard)

Storage   ---   Internal drive   ---   32 GB eMMC
                         SD card    ---   32GB   

  It has Windows 10 - 64bit pre installed . I am considering replacing Windows 10 with Lite 2.8  .
Which would the best version for me 32bit or 64 bit . I assume the UEFI version is not yet available but is it likely to be released soon
