You will need an IoT device to install on – here are some options that Microsoft supports: However, since the process is similar using IoT Core Dashboard (which I already covered in Part 1), I am going to go through the installation process steps using the Windows ADK IoT Core Add-Ons. This will display a dialog as shown here:įor certain x86/圆4 device you can use IoT Core Dashboard to run through the installation process. You can find out what version you are running by clicking on the search box (next to the Start button) and typing ‘winver’. Intel’s Baytrail devices running the Intel Atom processor E3800 is an example of an 圆4 device.īefore you can install on an x86/圆4 device, you need to make sure you have a PC that is running Wind(version 0) or higher. These processors do not have their instruction sets slimmed down, so they can perform more complex operations, at the cost of increased power consumption (and therefore lower battery life). The Raspberry Pi is classified as an ARM device.ĭevices with the x86/圆4 architecture are classified as CISC processors, which stands for Complex Instruction Set Computer. While this means that the processor can’t do certain things, it requires a low amount of power to execute what it can do, so that translates to increased battery life. What this means is that the processor has been slimmed down to only include a reduced set of commands it can process. ARM devices are called Advanced RISC Machines, with RISC standing for Reduced Instruction Set Computer. When we talk about the different IoT devices, the processor type needs some explanation. These devices can run with or without a display device. Windows 10 IoT Core is a version of Microsoft’s Windows 10 operating system that has been optimized for smaller devices that can run on either ARM or x86/圆4 devices. This article will focus on the steps required to install Windows 10 IoT Core on an x86/圆4 device. Part 1 described how to install Windows 10 IoT Core on a Raspberry Pi 3 device. This is the second part in a 2-part series on how to install Microsoft Windows 10 IoT Core on an Internet-of-Things (IoT) device.
