Microsoft will be releasing a new free version of Windows specifically for small form factor IoT devices with or without a display. This platform brings Windows to a new class of small devices and allows Makers and Windows developers to leverage best in class development and debug tools on a diverse set of hardware resources—including the Raspberry Pi 2.

Windows 10 will offer versions of Windows for a diverse set of IoT devices, ranging from powerful devices like ATMs and ultrasound machines, to resource constrained devices like gateways. Through key partnerships with the Raspberry Pi Foundation, Intel, Qualcomm and others, we will provide great options for commercial devices builders, hobbyists and students.

Microsoft today announced that they are adding support for Qualcomm DragonBoard 410C to the Windows 10 device family. The Qualcomm DragonBoard 410C is the first Windows 10 developer board with integrated Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS, and a smartphone-class Snapdragon 410 chipset.
