What exactly is windows IoT ?
"First, let's talk about Windows IoT (formerly known as Windows Embedded), a series of operating systems designed by Microsoft specifically for embedded systems. The Internet of Things brings enterprise-level power, security, and management capabilities. It leverages the embedded experience, ecosystem, and cloud connectivity of Windows, allowing organizations to build their IoT with secure devices that can be rapidly deployed and easily managed."
What devices is Windows IoT suitable for?？
"It is suitable for devices such as industrial automation systems, medical devices, ATM machines, POS machines, digital signage, kiosks, and other fixed-purpose devices."
In addition to Windows 10 IoT, there is also the latest Windows 11 IoT. How should you choose? Here are 4 key considerations.
1.Basic hardware and software environment requirements
2. Windows 11 IoT adds the following hardware support compared to Windows 10 IoT：
■ TPM 2.0 Required
■ USB 4.0
■ Wi-Fi 6E
3. What types of situations and scenarios are suitable for upgrading from Windows 10 IoT to Windows 11 IoT？
"For customers looking to use TPM to enhance device security, or for applications in scenarios where interaction with customers is involved, Windows 11 IoT offers improvements in AI and UI. If these needs are not present, it is fine to continue using the Windows 10 IoT version. However, it’s important to note that the current version of Windows 11 IoT is not an LTSC version with a 10-year support period. The support cycle provided by the manufacturer is shorter, and many embedded features are not customizable. Before adopting this version, it is crucial to consider factors such as multi-app kiosk mode, non-LTSC support, and whether peripheral device drivers are compatible with Windows 11 IoT. Additionally, the Windows 11 IoT LTSC version with a 10-year support period is expected to be released in 2023 (the exact release date will be announced by Microsoft)."
4.Which specific industries are most suitable for adopting Windows 11 IoT？
"If your industry involves applications such as Industrial Tablets and POS systems for the HMI interaction market, Windows 11 IoT is highly suitable. For other applications, if there are no specific considerations, you can continue using the Windows 10 IoT version."
Choose the Windows IoT product version based on the CPU platform.
