So, I may see a multi-Xeon setup in my future and was wondering how many physical processors does W10 support? :p

Thanks!
 
Windows 8 allowed core/home to have 1 and anything higher, pro or enterprise 2 physical cpu's. You need server versions to go higher than that.
 
My impression is yes, the same as 8. You'll need server software if you want to go more than two, which I would recommend anyway.
 
Limit is 2 physical processors still. 64-bit can use 256 cores, Home will let you use 128GB RAM and Pro/Enterprise limits to 512GB.

How many physical CPUs and Cores does Windows 10 support?
Windows 10 supports a maximum of two physical CPUs, but the number of logical processors or cores varies based on the processor architecture. A maximum of 32 cores is supported in 32-bit versions of Windows 8, whereas up to 256 cores are supported in the 64-bit versions.
