Very pleased on the recent acquisition of cf-30 running dual boot WinXP / Win10 IOT LTSC Enterprise 2021 which has support till 2032! Battery lasts approx 5 hours, navigating in xp is speedy. Got mypal version 68 going for web browsing. Have upgraded sata drive to a WD Blue 1TB and also got a 1TB Sandisk micro sd card working. Lovely unit. Definetly exceeded my expectations. Have purchased 4GB ram.. looking to see how it performs once it arrives. Happy to join the club finally!
What is the difference between Windows 10 IOT & windows 10?
I imagine the "iot" is in reference to low - powered computer devices? (So just curious what functionality you're losing compared to a standard windows 10 os)
There are four versions:
Enterprise,
Enterprise IoT,
Enterprise LTSC,
Enterprise IoT LTSC
IoT versions needs workarounds to go from a nonfunctional to mostly functional MS Stores - they are debloated, designed for single-task machines like ATM POS et cetera
LTSC - have long term support and it work like this, there is a version freeze and no updates except security and maybe bug fixes - 5 year support
IoT LTSC has 10 not 5 years, that's why ppl use IoT LTSC (and maybe less bloat)
