If it comes with 32 bit windows, you're using the BIOS rather than UEFI.
But remember partition can still be GPT. And on BIOS, you can install 32 
bit linux OS.

I don't like one bit when manufacturers say their motherboard is 
"UEFI-aware" (not saying yours is, I just don't know) when it is not a 
bit UEFI.

Getting (a bit) late here again. Logging off.
