I just remembered about linux. Would linux work and do you have any recomended version of it?

As far as I'm aware most versions of Linux don't have any restrictions on CPU count but it'll be good to check first.

As for what I would recommend, I haven't been in the Linux scene for a few years but Ubuntu, Linux Mint, Debian, Fedora, Cent OS or even Puppy Linux and Elementary OS are all good distros.

 

If you're new to Linux, start with Ubuntu.

I recently build my computer from old server hardware like Linus did in his video. I got windows 10 and I have the problem of windows only seeing and using 1 CPU instead of both Intel xeons. In bios it says I have 2 cpus. When I run dxdiag it says I have only 1 cpu and same with task manager. On the Supermicro website there's only one driver for lan. I am hoping there is some driver or something so that windows sees both cpu. The attached document is my specs
