He is probably having so much fun with it that he isn't around to report back
-
My colleague is going to set it up, but he's busy. I have taken it out of the box and managed to drop it on the floor though, which is a good start
-
Too busy to play with new toys?!?
-
I'm working him too hard!

-
Got my Intel Compute stick, setting it up

Windows 8.1 with Bing?
-
Yes, searched about that, apparently its the same Windows 8.1 only thing is its default IE search engine is Bing!

8.1 with Bing is the "free" windows version for small devices I believe. It is not Pro to my knowledge.

Ah okay, is there no Windows 10 "era" equivalent?

Not yet. It is being rumored though.

It will upgrade to Windows 10 Home. I have some 7" Winbook tablets that were purchased to run a specific application while connected to a TV.
They popped the Windows 10 upgrade notice after release and I upgraded them no problems.

So far it's a disaster. The pc started and for some reason restarted during the initial setup after language selection. And it's on a loop never completed the initial setup. Tried refresh, reset nothing works. That goes till 98% and restarts again. I am thinking of getting the new iso somehow add it on microsd and try a clean install or just return it and get a new piece.

That's no fun. Sorry to hear that.

You have had it less than a week = return it. If the second one does the same, then troubleshoot.

This is what I get now.

That's a good option for sure. Maybe test a few things but.... yeah get that money back. Intel machines never seem to be good. We think of them as total crap. Their CPUs and stuff rock, of course. Great NICs, CPUs, support chips, etc. But their mobos, RAID, PCs, etc. I would not touch with a ten foot pole.
