Restore master database from 64bit sql server to 32 bit server

GG
Hi,
We are planning to create a prod environment on our Dev server, by
creating a new named instance on DEV. Our prod server is running on
sql enterprise edition 64bit and dev on SQl enterprise 32bit.
Could we copy all the databases from prod server including
Master,msdb,model onto our dev server, and bring up all the databases?
Does Master store information about the version of SQl server?

Thanks for your help

It would probably be best not to copy the system databases (except
perhaps model) - master and msdb have lots of information about the
instance, including name, backup history etc which could create
problems if you restore onto another instance. Typically, those
databases are only restored if they become corrupted, or as part of a
complete server recovery.
