R610 + workstation OS?
I'm setting up a small render farm, and the hitch is that some of the animation software will not install on server OS. Can Windows 7/8/10 (hopefully 10) be installed on the R610, or are there driver issues? I'm looking at picking up several of these with the Dual Xeon X5550 CPUs IF I can install workstation software.

Win Vista = 2008
Windows 7 = 2008 R2
Windows 8 = 2012
Windows 8.1 = 2012 R2
Windows 10 = 2016
As noted, these are common kernels only ... drivers are not guaranteed to be completely compatible between variations.

Although the Topic is a bit older I would like to comment for further users.
I had exactly the same idea and have now running 4 Dell Poweredge R610 with X5650 Hexacore and 24GB each.
They are all running on current Win10 Pro and BIOS 6.5.0. Installation was absolutely no problem (network connected). The driver.exe was executed after installation. No issues at all.
Just the graphic driver will stay the Windows Basic Display Adapter and not the Matrox MGA200 (that driver crashed).
They are running with Autodesk Maya 2018 and current Arnold for rendering. Render Manager ist Backburner 2019.
Best regards
