Customizing / Branding

Windows IoT Enterprise has a lot to offer in the section of customizing.

With customized OEM information you can appear even more clearly as a manufacturer of a certain system. You can read more about customizing in this article.

Even more Security

Extending security features never hurts. Microsoft thought like this as well and put a special focus on the topic in favour of all users. From BitLocker to Secure Boot to Mobile Device Management, Windows 11 IoT Enterprise, just like its predecessor, has a lot to offer As mentioned in the introduction, the features are only active if desired.

spo-comm IoT packages

spo-comm offers Windows IoT Enterprise in three versions: BASIC, ON and OFF.

With the BASIC package, which costs no surcharge, customers receive a raw image in the standard languages German and English.

With the ON version, the display language is freely selectable and we update the update status quarterly so that the Mini-PC is ready for use immediately after delivery.

If you want to make sure that your application runs smoothly and that no updates get in its way, you should choose the OFF package. Here the updates are completely deactivated. The language is also freely selectable. In addition, programs such as Cortana, OneDrive and XBOX-Network, which are not required for the majority of industrial applications, are removed in the latter two variants.
