Windows 10 Installation for Datapath Systems
There are a number of different ‘Windows 10’ installation versions to cater for different use cases and processor configurations.
Datapath has released a Windows 10 Installation specifically designed to be compatible with Datapath controller systems.
This Datapath Windows 10 Installation is a complete reinstall of the operating system. Any user data is permanently deleted. The procedure will wipe the disk and install a new version of Windows 10, complete with a full license key. It is recommended that a backup is performed prior to running the installation.
Windows 10 is currently only suitable for systems supporting 48 screens or fewer. For systems over 48 screens, please contact your Datapath representative for further information.
