Would an Intel NUC 5i5RYH be supported on bare metal?

The NUC5i5RYH officially only supports Windows 10 while newer NUCs supports Linux. Would DietPi work on this 5th generation NUC directly on bare metal to support the hardware? Is there a way to test without having to wipe the current Windows 10 installation (no recovery drive). Thank you in advance as I could not find this information.

It’s an i5…should work…worse comes to worse…try a debian or ubuntu “live” distro to see if it detects all the hardware and drivers before you blow out the M$ install
Also…make an image of the M$ install so if you ever have to roll it back.,

It should be possible to boot DietPi from USB drive
