It seems likely the Home edition accommodates dual socket PCs, though I wanted to confirm for accuracy.

Really? If I didn’t cover the home cost, I wouldn’t either.

I faced the same problem too—dual Xeon board requires W10 Pro.

If you are stuck with home, there is a sudo solution, though it's probably more trouble than it's worth... Just put linux on the system, then setup a kvm based virtual machine and pass through all of the computer's hardware. Set the vm to autostart at boot your pretty much good to go. Because it's a virtual machine you can tell it the cpu is laid out however you want. I've got a dual 8 core hyper threaded setup (2x e5-2670 v1 cpus) and for a while I had a win10 home setup that showed as having a single 32 core cpu in it. Obviously this isn't really a serious answer, but it does work As a side note, windows 10 home will work on a dual cpu system, it just won't use or even show the second cpu.

I think I'll quit Linux and try running ESXi instead. Maybe use Windows for the GPU and a regular CPU.
