My first interaction with assembly language was when I was doing a hobby project with microcontrollers. It was a RICS processor, and I really fell in love. These days I am trying to write an Operation System for x86 processor. It is much joy to write assembly language. But I do think, that it is the job of the developer to not write cryptic codes.

Can the operation system you wrote for x86 processor run in Intel Core i5?

@mozart91784563 If the computer supports legacy BIOS (not just purely UEFI), then yes it will run on i5 processors.
