Devices that run Windows 10 for desktop editions require a 1 GHz or faster processor or SoC that meets the following requirements: * Compatible with the x86* or x64 instruction set. * Supports PAE, NX and SSE2. * Supports CMPXCHG16b, LAHF/SAHF, and PrefetchW for 64-bit OS installation
- ant6n 6y agoMmmh, so it seems one would be stuck on win 8.0 (for 64bit) with an original implementation of amd64. Could probably still run a lot of new software.

- ComputerGuru 6y agoThe PAE and NX requirements can be disabled in the bootloader.
