It has been proven to work, just a little unstable during the initial install. Once Windows is installed it will run.

The iGPU graphics are a little tricky, but Intel's Iris Pro graphics can be forcibly installed and they work.

ASUS has them hosted here: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/ROG-MAXIMUS-IX-HERO/HelpDesk_Download/

ASRock probably does too, but I haven't checked. I'd have to find the post where someone did this with a non-ASUS motherboard.

If you have no display on the monitor, you can't install an OS.
But since that CPU has built in graphics, yes you can.
