What you need

1. Windows 10 Insider Preview - must be a physical Windows machine (not a VM).
2. Raspberry Pi 2.
3. 5V micro USB power supply - with at least 1.0A current.
4. 8GB micro SD card - class 10 or better. (We suggest this one (http://www.amazon.com
/gp/product/B00IVPU786) or this one (http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Ultra-MicroSDHC-16GB/dp/9966573445))
5. HDMI cable (if display is desired).
6. Ethernet cable.
If you are using several USB peripherals or high-current devices, use a higher current power supply
(>2.0A).

Put the Windows 10 IoT Core Insider Preview image

on your SD card
We have provided a utility to provision your SD card with the Windows 10 IoT Core Insider Preview.
The following steps can only be executed on a system running Windows 10
(https://insider.windows.com) (build 10069 or higher).
NOTE: you will need to follow these instructions on a physical Windows machine (and not a VM)
because you need access to the SD card reader.
Follow these instructions to configure your SD card:
1. Download (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=616847) the ISO for Raspberry Pi 2 from the

Microsoft Download Center.

2. Save the ISO to a local folder

3. Double clicking on the ISO (IoT Core RPi.iso) will automatically mount it as a virtual CD drive
so you can access the contents.

4. Install Windows_10_IoT_Core_RPi2.msi. When installation is complete, flash.ffu will be located

at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft IoT\FFU\RaspberryPi2

5. Eject the Virtual CD when done

6. Insert an SD card into your SD card reader.
7. Use IoTCoreImageHelper.exe to flash the SD card. Search for WindowsIoT from start menu
and select the shortcut WindowsIoTImageHelper

8. The tool will enumerate devices as shown. Select the SD card you want to flash and then
provide the location of the ffu and flash the image.

9. Click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon in your task tray and select your USB SD card
reader to safely remove it from the system. Failing to do this can cause corruption of the
image.
NOTE: IoTCoreImageHelper.exe is the recommended tool to flash the SD card. However,
instructions are available for using DISM (/content/en-US/win10/samples/DISM.htm) directly

Hook up your board

1. Insert the micro SD card you prepared in the section above (the slot is on the opposite side
of the board shown below).
2. Connect a network cable to the Ethernet port on the board.

3. Connect an HDMI monitor to the HDMI port on the board.

4. Connect the power supply to the micro USB port on the board.

Boot Windows 10 IoT Core Insider Preview

1. Windows 10 IoT Core Insider Preview will boot automatically after connecting power supply.
2. On the very first boot Windows IoT Core will do some first boot configurations and it will
display a default blue colored application while this is happening. Wait for a few minutes
and the board will automatically restart. This will happen only once and then DefaultApp
should come up, displaying the IP address of the Raspberry Pi 2.

3. Follow the PowerShell documentation here (/content/en-US/win10/samples/PowerShell.htm)

to use PowerShell to connect to your running device. You can also follow the instructions here
(/content/en-US/win10/samples/SSH.htm) to use SSH to connect to your device.
4. It is highly recommended that you update the default password for the Administrator
account.
5. The Visual Studio Remote Debugger will silently start automatically on your Raspberry Pi 2
when it boots.
