No, it is not supported on Windows 10 (but that does not mean you cannot run windows 10).

No, the graphics are not supported on Windows 10 (but you can use the Microsoft generic driver).

Hello, thanks for your answer, but I'm a little confused, does that means that it supports 64bit windows (7, 8.1) but not 64bit windows 10?

You can run 64-bit Vista, 7, 8.x, and 10. It is just that Windows 10 is not supported.

Read the links I provided.

Hello:

 

 

Thank you very much to Al Hill for the comments posted previously.

 

 

To Cyrash:

 

 

I just wanted to confirm the above information as correct, you can use Windows® 64-bit Vista, 7, 8.x, and 10 with that processor, is just that for Windows® 10 the graphics drivers are not available, but you can always use the generic drivers that get installed when you install Windows.

 

 

Any questions, please let me know.

 

 

Alberto
