i3 6100 and Win. 8.1 64 bit

[_NickPowell_]

Will the i3 6100 run on Windows 8.1 64 bit?

 

[Robert Cook]

oh yes. it will run just fine.

 

[Ryan_78]

why yes of course? the CPU should support any OS. there is no compatibility issues between any cpu and OS

 

[Robert Cook]

I would get the 64 bit as then you have a product key for windows 64 bit. 32 bit frankly is useless unless your CPU cannot support 64 bit. and if it cant, then it is probably woefully out of date.

Yes. Why would you think it wouldn't?

I think the OP may be concerned based on the statements from MS about how they won't officially support older OS's on Skylake. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/03/skylake-support-on-windows-7-and-8-1-given-a-one-year-extension/
That being said, OP should be fine.
