According to the supermicro homepage The following Windows versions are supported: 7 SP1, 8 Enterprise, 8.1 Enterprise, 10, Server 2008 R2 SP1, Server 2012 and Server 2012 R2. No PCI/PCIe cards installed (yet). No special Video driver in the kernel except CONFIG_FB_EFI=y as suggested by Johnson Steward. The MB has a integrated VGA output.
