Windows IoT
Windows IoT, short for Windows Internet of Things and formerly known as Windows Embedded, is a family of operating systems from Microsoft designed for use in embedded systems. Microsoft has three different subfamilies of operating systems for embedded devices targeting a wide market, ranging from small-footprint, real-time devices to point of sale (POS) devices like kiosks. Windows Embedded operating systems are available to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), who make it available to end users preloaded with their hardware, in addition to volume license customers in some cases.
In April 2018, Microsoft released Azure Sphere, another operating system designed for IoT applications running on the Linux kernel.
Microsoft rebranded "Windows Embedded" to "Windows IoT" starting with the release of embedded editions of Windows 10.
Windows IoT Enterprise is a binary equivalent version of Windows 10 and 11 Enterprise designed for use in embedded applications. It replaces both Embedded Industry and Embedded Standard, as well as Embedded FES (known simply as "Windows Embedded" since Windows 8/8.1). It functions exactly the same, even including all of its components and features, but is licensed exclusively for use in embedded devices. Plain unlabeled, Retail/Thin Client, Tablet, and Small Tablet SKUs are available, again differing only in licensing.
Later versions added a minor change that allows the use of smaller storage devices, with the possibility of more changes being made in the future. In Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, version 21H2, additional "Soft Real-Time" features (CPU isolation, ISR pinning, mutex priority inheritance, RT thread priority levels) were added. In addition, starting with the LTSC edition of version 21H2, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC will gain an extra five years of support compared to Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC.
Windows 10 IoT Mobile, also known as Windows 10 IoT Mobile Enterprise, is a binary equivalent of Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise that functions exactly the same, except that it is licensed for IoT applications. It is unsupported as of January 14, 2020.
Windows 10 IoT Core is a cut-down version of Windows 10 that is considered by some to be the successor to Windows Embedded Compact, however it maintains very little compatibility with it. Optimized for smaller and lower-cost industry devices, it is also provided free of charge for use in devices like the Raspberry Pi for hobbyist use.
Windows 10 IoT Core Pro provides the ability to defer and control updates and is licensed only via distributors; it is otherwise identical to the normal IoT Core edition.
