Why a Workstation?
HP recommends Windows.
Solution guide | Why a workstation?
1. Maximum memory capacities assume Windows 64-bit operating systems or Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, memory above 3 GB may not all be available
due to system resource requirements.
2. For hard drives, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes. TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 20 GB (for Windows 7) and up to 36 GB (For Windows 10) of hard drive
(or system disk) is reserved for the system recovery software.

5. Not all features are available in all editions or versions of Windows. Systems may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware, drivers, software or BIOS update to take
full advantage of Windows functionality. Windows 10 is automatically updated, which is always enabled. ISP fees may apply and additional requirements may apply over time for
updates. See microsoft.com.
