Maximum number of physical CPUs Windows 10 can utilize?

[Progression]

So, I may see a multi-Xeon setup in my future and was wondering how many physical processors does W10 support?

Thanks!

Windows 8 allowed core/home to have 1 and anything higher, pro or enterprise 2 physical cpu's. You need server versions to go higher than that.

You think the same applies to W10? You think the pro version can use 2? Kinda was hoping for 4 CPUs.

My impression is yes, the same as 8. You'll need server software if you want to go more than two, which I would recommend anyway.

Limit is 2 physical processors still. 64-bit can use 256 cores, Home will let you use 128GB RAM and Pro/Enterprise limits to 512GB.

How many physical CPUs and Cores does Windows 10 support?
Windows 10 supports a maximum of two physical CPUs, but the number of logical processors or cores varies based on the processor architecture. A maximum of 32 cores is supported in 32-bit versions of Windows 8, whereas up to 256 cores are supported in the 64-bit versions.
