^Check if Ubuntu can. watt is based on Ubuntu, so it will probably be the same.

Vanilla Ubuntu 14.04 and Lubuntu 14.04 can, but Ubuntu minimal install can't. If I recall correctly, wattOS R9 can't either. I haven't tried with Ubuntu 16.04 and its derivates yet.

As an indicator, the following quoted from Mint 18 (based on U 16.04) release notes :

    The 64-bit ISO can boot with BIOS or UEFI.
    The 32-bit ISO can only boot with BIOS.
    The 64-bit ISO is recommend for all modern computers (Almost all computers sold in the last 10 years are equipped with 64-bit processors).

ONLY an indicator - wattOS isn't Mint, nor Ubuntu
