With the exact right hardware platform in mind because of the necessity to include the exact correct BSP (Board Support Package) with the correct drivers for that particular hardware platform. No, the IOT (mobile/CE/embedded) type installers have to be selected for desktops, tablets, or laptops) that are kind of like "one size fits all" type installers. These type of installations are quite a bit different This is also true for the old Windows Mobile installations, and before that, Windows CE installations. The Windows IOT installations are meant for embedded systems with constrained resources. Here is why (based on my past experiences): I suddenly remembered why this is such a hassle and why Microsoft probably doesn't just provide links to IOT installations.
I don't understand why the link to download the Windows 10 IOT Enterprise evaluation takes me to a page where the word IOT is suddenly missing and I am wondering if this is "bait and switch" and now I will be downloading an OS that is not meantįor an industrial application and requires orderly shutdown (Start Menu -> Shutdown) which is not possible in our use case. We absolutely want the IOT version to protectĪgainst bricking the industrial unit in case of sudden power loss. A version without the word IOT is susceptible to bricking if sudden power loss occurs.
My understanding is that the IOT version does not require orderly shutdown. If it does, we will simply purchase this and pay royalties as well for each unit deployed in the field. I am just wondering how to get Windows 10 IOT Enterprise evaluation copy so I can see it will work in our application. Have a support plan so this will cost you at least $499.
After contacting Microsoft support, they told me that for Windows 10 Enterprise related issues, you have to contact commercial support. I just went through this process and it was not fruitful.
