Exactly what version of Windows 10?
You are talking about some serious processing. It's only been the last year or two that you could get that many threads in a box less than server.
Why, because consumer Windows is intentionally not designed to handle that sort of multi-threaded loads. Consumer Windows (Home) has always had relatively low upper resource limites. At the very least you would have to go to Win Pro or Enterprise to extend that limit, maybe even Win Server. Or do a retrograde upgrade to Win 8. But I would be surprised if it can handle more threads than Win 10. You should post a reply on that site to find out exactly which Win 8.1 he was talking about.
This page only talks about the RAM limits, I'm guessing/assuming that cpu core and thread count support would have a similar ramp up in the limites supported. Look at how the RAM support jumps up. From Win Home to Pro / Enterprise is 16 times higher, then Pro to Server another 12 times higher: 128GB to 2TB to 24TB

I found this answer posted July 2015
<snip>
Windows 10 supports maximum memory configurations that were formerly available only in the realm of servers. Windows 10 Home supports up to 128GB of RAM on the x64 platform. Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise both support up to 512GB on the x64 platform. The x86 versions of Windows 10 support a maximum of 4GB of RAM. Windows 10 supports a maximum of two physical CPUs, but the number of logical processors or cores varies based on the processor architecture. A maximum of 32 cores is supported in 32-bit versions of Windows 8, whereas up to 256 cores are supported in the 64-bit versions.
