Devices require a Windows 11 64-bit operating system. Windows 11 versions IoT and SE are not supported.  Operating systems prior to Windows 11 are not supported.

 

Hardware Requirements

These requirements are the minimum for Windows OS and may not provide optimum performance. In general, the more powerful the PC is, the faster the response times!
