Product: HP Compaq Elite 8300 SFF
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (32-bit)

Since I am on a 32-bit system, and would like to change to a 64-bit one, does the Elite 8300 support booting from UEFI and GPT drives?

google is your friend when asking a simple question,.. learning how to use google will allow you to get a answer at your leisure instead of waiting for someone to reply

yes, 64bit is no problem if you had checked the HP quickspecs for this system you would have seen that HP offered 64bit Os's

 

and FYI, win 10 x64 is also unofficially supported
