Microsoft recently released a x64-bit version of Windows 10 IoT Core Pro edition software.
This, said the company, would enable OEM/ODMs to move between Windows 10 IoT Core and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise without the need to maintain a separate firmware image for their devices.
Announcing this on the Windows blog, Brett Bentsen, Partner Group Program Manager for Windows IoT said: We’ve always been of the opinion that an IoT Device can’t be secure if it can’t be updated. In the first release of Windows 10 IoT, we brought Secure Boot and BitLocker to IoT Devices and enabled OS updating for IoT devices, and we also delivered update control to our OEM/ODM partners using the Windows 10 IoT Core Pro edition. In the near future, we’ll be supporting application updates via the Windows Store for application on Windows 10 IoT Core Pro. We’ll share more details on WindowsForIoTDevices.com when the program opens, so keep checking back.
With Windows 10 IoT, we’ve built a platform that’s easily scalable, whether you’re building things in your garage or building the next generation of commercial devices. We’re helping to bring enterprise grade security features and making the ‘I’ in IoT simple to realize.
