    Hello ,

    Thank you for reaching out to the community, it should. Opt for 64bit OS while installing. As the minimum requirement are as follows:

    • Processor: Intel Atom Dual Core with 1.46 GHz (or compatible)
    • Memory: 2 GB RAM
    • HDD: 40 GB SATA hard disk drive or SSD
    • CD-ROM Drive (optional): Bootable IDE or SCSI CD-ROM drive
    • NIC: Two or more PCIe 2.0 Ethernet network interface cards
    • NIC (optional): One heart-beat capable PCI Ethernet network interface card. In a high-availability system, the primary and secondary system communicate with one another through so-called heart-beat requests. If you want to set up a high-availability system, both units need to be equipped with heart-beat capable network interface cards.
    • USB (optional): One USB port for communications with a UPS device and one USB port for connecting a Sophos UTM Smart Installer(SUSI)

    Thanks & Regards,

    The CD-ROM is not necessarily a minimum requirement.  You can use a USB boot loader program such as Rufus to create a bootable drive from ISO on USB, and this has been out there for a long time. But I get it, copy/paste, lol.

    Yes, you can install it and choose the64-bit option on install. 

    Keep in mind that if you do eventually go to XG, the home version is hardware limited to 6GB memory and 4 cores on a single processor.

    Is the UTM now able to boot from an UEFI-only system? Last time I checked BIOS was an requirement.

    Not to my knowledge.  XG might, but I haven't tried it since v17? or so.
