Windows 10: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro x64 on a system with 4 CPU's

Hi!


I know that Win10Pro only supports 2 CPU's - however, I managed to install it on a Dell PowerEdge R815, with 4 AMD Opteron CPU's, with 16 cores each.

In the System information, it says that the system only have 2 CPU's, and only 32 cores are detected - however, in Device Manager, all 4 CPU's and all 64 cores are detected.

So - my questions are:


1. Is there ANY way to make Windows 10 Pro to recognize all 4 CPU's? I do a lot of video-rendering work


2. Windows Server Standard 2016 detects all 4 CPU's and cores and runs very smooth - but I'm having problem with enabling 3D acceleration and detection of my GPU's. Two GTX1050 and Two Tesla units, with external power.

Is there ANY way to make Windows Server to run and behave like Windows 10, so I can go ahead and do my job?

Otherwise, I've spent a lot of money on a license for the Server edition and have to switch to Ubuntu Linux - which works flawless, detecting all CPU/Cores/GPU's/Tesla's.


I would really like to remind as Microsoft customer - but limiting hardware is really getting me on my nerves - so if there's any solution, then please help me stay a Microsoft customer - before I delete the partitions and install Ubuntu Linux.


I would be really thankful for any kind of help.

I have actually 8 servers with the same setup - and if you can help me out, then you've got a customer that's going to buy 7 more licenses - instead of using Ubuntu for free - and also - if possible, I would like to use Windows Server as primary OS, instead of Windows 10, due to more functions - I just need the graphics to work.

Microsoft to Introduce Windows 10 Pro for Workstation PCs

Microsoft is seemingly going to introduce another version of their Windows 10 operating system. After introducing Windows 10 S earlier in the year, followed by the "Chinafinitive" Windows 10 China Government Edition, the company is seemingly responding to specific market demands of professionals and enterprises. The new Windows 10 Pro for Workstation PCs (which was first leaked by Microsoft itself through an erroneous upload to the Insider Program) will apparently come in two variants, a standard variant, and the N variant, which is built to comply with EU regulations.

The new Windows 10 Pro for Workstation PCs will introduce ReFS, the successor to the tried and true NTFS file system. The new ReFS is designed for fault-tolerance and is optimized for handling large data volume, including auto-correcting capabilities and backwards-compatibility with NTFS. Additionally, Microsoft is baking in SMB Direct protocol file sharing in Windows 10 Pro for Workstation which allows for high throughput, low latency and low CPU utilization when accessing network shares. It will also introduce support for systems with up to four CPUs (up from Windows 10 and Windows 10 Pro dual CPU limit) and 6 TB of RAM.

Win 10 BSOD after reducing number of CPUs

• Win 10 x64 running in VMware Fusion VM on MacBook Pro w/ 6 physical cores & HT.
• When VM is configured with 5+ CPUs, Windows runs fine.
• When VM is configured with 4 or fewer, BSOD INVALID SYSTEM CONFIG INFO
  • WINLOAD.EFI missing or corrupted
  • Attempt to repair using ISO image fails

OS X 10.15.4, VMware Fusion Pro 11.5.3

Win 10 Enterprise

Version 1703

Build 15063.2108

Any suggestions appreciated, as I need to move this VM to another HW config with fewer physical CPUs.

Thanks!
