There's the RAM limit that would need addressing. Also UEFI struggles with the Windows 7 splash screen, but that could be replaced with a simpler logo.

I dont want to do the whole "640K ought to be enough for anybody", but I cant imagine most home users, average and production, hitting the ram limit of windows 7 which is like 200gb or there abouts.

I would think anyone running loads that would require that much are probably running linux, like servers and such.

but even so, I'm sure it could have been expanded if there was an actual need.

Oh, I didn't realize Pro and beyond had such higher ram limits compared to home, til.
