Is this motherboard allow to install OS with ACHI mode?

You can change the mode if needed as well, but if you don't change the mode it'll auto setup everything to the new OS depending on the bit and type. Example: It'll adjust to Windows 7 32 bit or Windows 8 64 bit differently as well as Linux if you do not use Windows.

As far as I know (somebody can correct me if i'm wrong) The motherboard can have any operating system you want it to have. That is just a program you install on to your computer. If you really wanted to, you could install windows 98.

If you're using a 'boot device selectable' bios like on most @sus boards then it does just fine. Stick it on a 'bought' PC you would have to experiment. Bit it's a very cheap gamble as price is fantastic.

Yes you have the hard drive from SATA to compatibly mode and and change UEFI to ACHI mode. Change nothing else or you will run into a mile of problems like I did then it will take you about 2 days to get everything right again.

I have build four systems for clients using this board without any issues. As always make sure you have the lastest BIOS before installing OS.

Sure do! Every one that we have ordered we have put an ssd and clean install of windows 7. Turn off uefi mode in bios.

I didn't have to do anything special to get it to boot and install windows. It's not an unlocked CPU so I just used the settings the BIOS chose. I updated to the latest drivers and bios after I booted into windows.

No. The new AMD A10-7xxx apu is on the new FM2+ architecture. It's incompatible with the FM2 socket.

I haven't tried to do it, but I don't see why not so long as there is a Mint/Linux kernel for that CPU and drivers. Note that the machine came with the OS installed so be sure to do a backup and boot media. You might want to contact ASUS: http://service.asus.com, +01888-678-3688 to be sure.

Yes. This type of part is OS agnostic and does not require even an installed driver under windows.

Yes and Yes.Just plug everything into your mobo. If you have multiple storage drives, it is often easier to install the OS with only the Ram, video card (if using one), CPU, and the system hard drive connected. Then, after windows is installed, connect the extra storage drives and format them accordingly.

Yes it does. Press F2 to get in to BIOS, click Advanced Setup, then click on the Power tab.

Not really, unless your motherboard explicitly states it is an "AM3/AM3+" one.

In the technical details it mentions only AMD x2 and x4... Could that limit the function of this motherboard?

No way. This is an AMD motherboard with a different pin setup than the Intel unit. Sorry.

Yes . But you don't really need that cd since you can install that on asus official website if you don't have a CD-ROM. Does that make sense ? Hope it helps.
