        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 🙂

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

                            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.

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

                                          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.

                                            Given the stick back to the vendor, and as per them they can't just replace unless the problem is proven. The guy boot up the stick, it restarted as usual, but surprisingly it went all the way to complete a reset. He could login to Windows and shown me that everything is fine. Felt surprised to see that stupid thing was working. Came back home, started installing chrome, FF and windows update, in 20 minutes, the device shutdown. Changed power cable just to make sure its not something to do with the USB cable, as the guy used a different cable there, but worked for 10 minutes and turned off. Looks like some sort of issue in the power/overheating. Contacted the vendor and asked to get me a replacement or refund tomorrow. Lets see. So far Intel stick is a big fail!
