Same as always? Win10's license isn't restricted by cores, that's usually the domain of their server OS's and software.

- jeroenhd 7y agoThere used to be limitations on Windows regarding CPU count and maximum RAM size. With a consumer-level OS, you could not run more than two processors, for example. Given how earlier Ryzen acted like it was actually a bunch of NUMA nodes in the past, this could pose a problem (the normal version of Windows 7 wouldn't allow for a NUMA setup, you'd need Pro for that). I don't think Windows 10 has this limitation anymore but it's a very valid question. Given their weird calculation for the number of licenses you need to run Windows server, it's probably good to be cautious about licensing weggeweest it comes to running Windows on high performance chips like Threadripper.
- josteink 7y ago> There used to be limitations on Windows regarding CPU count There still is. And the Threadripper is just one CPU, so you should be ok. With pro edition of Win 10 there should be support for up to 2 CPUs, with whatever amounts of cores they have.
