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 between Windows 11 Home or Pro that 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 updates with feature or setting changes. This means that Windows stays the same as when it first gets installed. You can still manually install new software and features if you so choose.
- Full reimaging and recovery media options. While Windows 11 Home and Pro have limitations on creating computer snapshots/images for recovery use, 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 means that Windows 11 IoT guarantees support and updates for 10 years. Windows 11 Pro on the other hand receives 2 years.
- No regional limitations. While Windows 11 Home and Pro have regional pricing and limitations on where it can be used, Windows 11 IoT allows for worldwide use. This means that we don’t need to carry different licenses based on the country you are from.
Windows 11 IoT otherwise works the same, and any Windows 11 users will be immediately familiar with the operating system, and you will be able to install any Windows 11 compatible software without restriction.
