How to get started with Windows 10 IoT Core Preview for Raspberry Pi 2

Raspberry Pi is a tiny credit card sized PC. It's an SBC (=Single Board Computer). Microsoft announced earlier they were going to support Raspi2 by unveiling Windows 10 for IoT (= Internet of Things.

Ok. You want to run Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi 2? Let's give it a go! How to get started? Read on:

• Install Windows 10 Preview (build 10069 or higher) on your laptop. See my earlier setup on Acer W510.
• Next, agree with two EULAs: https://connect.microsoft.com/windowsembeddediot/SelfNomination.aspx?ProgramID=8558 (it's a blank page if everything is ok)
• You can download the FFU-image here: https://connect.microsoft.com/windowsembeddedIoT/Downloads/
• Insert your SD card in your laptop or SD reader.
• Find the disk number of your SD card
• Use these command on command line: diskpart, list disk, exit
• Type in the following command (in one line). Replace N with your SD card number:
• dism.exe /Apply-Image /ImageFile:flash.ffu /ApplyDrive:\\.\PhysicalDriveN /SkipPlatformCheck
• Be sure to run dism.exe as administrator!
• Eject SD card after when writing is ready
• Boot your Raspi 2 and pray. Let's hope Microsoft is not offering any blue screens ;D!
• Once Raspi2 and Windows 10 are up and running, follow the instructions below. Configure your PowerShell: http://ms-iot.github.io/content/win10/samples/PowerShell.htm
