¹ Projected capacitive (P-Cap) multi-touch screen. The screen comes with a protective film that can be removed for better touchscreen response.
² Using a secondary screen as an extended display may interfere with touchscreen functionality. For normal touchscreen use, set the secondary display to mirror the primary screen.
³ The gControl adapter is 12V at 5A (60W max), but typical usage is around 40-50W with gSender running. For practical recommendations, assuming peak usage around 40-50W is reasonable, but using 60W for safety is best.

Windows 11 IoT is a special version of Windows 11 that has some notable differences from Windows 11 Home or Pro, which most users will be familiar with, including:
- Less pre-installed Windows software, which improves performance and stability by reducing the number of background processes.
- Security updates only – Windows 11 IoT does not receive feature or setting changes through regular updates. This means Windows stays the same as when it was first installed. You can still manually install new software and features if you choose.
- Full reimaging and recovery media options – While Windows 11 Home and Pro have limitations when creating system snapshots or recovery images, Windows 11 IoT allows recovery images to be created freely, with all customizations and applications saved. This means that if you ever need to revert back to a certain state, you can save that version and reinstall it without restrictions.
- 10 years of extended support, which guarantees support and security updates for a full decade. In contrast, Windows 11 Pro only receives 2 years of support.
- No regional limitations – While Windows 11 Home and Pro have region-based pricing and usage restrictions, Windows 11 IoT allows for worldwide use. This means we don’t need to manage different licenses based on where you’re located.
Otherwise, Windows 11 IoT works just like any other version of Windows 11. If you’ve used Windows before, it will feel familiar, and you can install any compatible software without restrictions
