When I try to find an answer to this question I find many people getting a CompareExchange 128 error or some other problem like me but also some people that say they run Windows 10 with a Xeon E5450 CPU.
I've seen installing Xeon microcodes suggested but it was also debated.
I've been running a 64 bit Windows 7 with a Xeon E5450 CPU for a long time and as far as I know I can install a 32 bit edition of Windows 10 without a problem but I'd like to be able to install a 64 bit version of Windows if it is possible to be able to use more than 4GB of RAM.
Do you have any idea if it is possible ?
Would you alternatively recommend installing a Linux OS and running most software that requires Windows 10 that way ? I hear that is possible but I fear that would cause performance losses.
