Get an error message that it gets an error downloading ISO to the SD card. It’s downloading from: [http://software-download](http://software-download) [Microsoft.com/](http://Microsoft.com/) ---

according to these instructions you do not burn the ISO, but instead use a MSI to flash a pre-imaged ffu files: [https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/win10/GetStartedManually.htm](https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/iot/win10/GetStartedManually.htm) And, yes, that would mean you’d need a PC to get this far… ---

Windows IOT is a nightmare. Why use it. You need another computer to set it up. Its huge. takes forever and your trying to run it on a very limited system. I prefer any linux over Microsoft. The point of microsoft is to capitalize not to innovate.
