Hello all.
A friend at work got a Galileo from Microsoft. He didn't have time to do anything with it so he gave it to me, without an SD card.
I spent the afternoon reading all sorts of stories of woe, about how it was next to impossible to install windows on the Galileo.
I dug out an 8G micro sd, formatted it as fat32 and followed the directions at Windows Developer Program for IoT
By and large the instructions are simple.
The main hurdles were :
You have to sign up to get the windows image, and their website is appalling. Eventually after a bit closing down browsers etc. I got the download.
I'm running windows 7 on my workstation, so I had to follow the instructions given to modify the image writer, but that worked.
I wrote the image and it didn't seem to boot. It doesn't seem to boot unless the Galileo is connected by ethernet to your switch etc.
But once connected to my switch it booted fine.
I used putty to telnet to it, and bingo.. I have a DOS Prompt. It's like 1995 all over again
What to do now? that's the question.. I think I'll try and install some NAS application or other, or perhaps VNC.
Anyone else got this far? What have you done and how?
