We'll it does just fine as is on mine. Unlikely that there will be a problem. If you do search on Microsoft help for running in compatibility mode.

No the windows enviroment will not pick up both as windows server will you would be better off buying a single processor board and going that route with a 12 core if trying to use for a game console

Yes. Direct x9, 10, and 11. If you upgrade. To windows 12 later, you will also get Direct X 12 compatibility

Yes this server does support Windows 2012 and it does support virtualization.

Yes and no. This is for a new install. You will need to back up your data, and confirm all your software, hardware will work. There is a free program that will check your unit out at Microsoft. Download it run it and it will tell you what will or will not work. (Never had a problem upgrading a machine) Hope this helps.

I do not know, but keep in mind there is no driver at all for x64 systems, and rovio software seven x86 is not reliable,I used an old XP system, it was ok, never tried virtual machine,

I would doubt MS Server 2012 would install as this PC would not meet minimum hardware specifications. The same reason it won't install to a laptop PC.

I have mine installed in PCIe x4 slots on an Asus server bd running ESXi 5.1 They certainly work with VMware, no drivers needed. What slot did you install? I never heard of an x12 slot. What motherboard? They should be immediately recognized. Did you check the configuration/network adapters tab of the host?

Absolutely. You won't have any trouble running 64bit Windows or apps like Photoshop CC.

I don't remember the system requirements, but I'm running it on Windows 7, 64 bit. Works fine.

Yes, I have it installed in one of my PCs running one Windows 7, 8 and Server 2012 R2 without problems.

Yes. It is versatile with Windows OS, but will not work without using Parallels or some other compiler with Apple.

You can install this OS on a physical server, and you can fire up two Windows Server VMs on that physical server. If you add additional physical servers, you will need a license for each physical server.

Yes, it does. I virtualized all workstatios in my office, all of them run Win7 64bit Pro for about a year with NComputing L300 as a thin client instead of actual computers.
