Hi, your setup involves an Intel Xeon E3-1270v3 with just four cores. You're wondering why Linus chose the Server edition of Windows instead of the regular version—was it due to core count, the Xeon architecture, or dual-socket compatibility? Regarding gaming and productivity, you likely need Windows 10 Server Edition to run a Xeon processor effectively.

These dual socket systems require Windows 10 Pro.

You're referring to a requirement for a server supporting multiple sockets. For systems with several sockets, a dedicated server is necessary. For a setup with one socket, any version will suffice.
