Product: Workstation Z420
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I'm using a Z420 workstation with a Xeon E5 1650 processor. Specifications for the Z420 state that the e5 1600 and 2600 series processors are supported up to the E5 2687W, however, the E5 2690 is not specifically mentioned. Is it possible to install this processor and will there be some incompatibilities or not?

The 2600 Series includes a number of processors including the 2690. A Google search shows me that the Z420 is being offered with the E5 2690 CPU on a number of retail sites such as here.
