Resolution: 2560&#215;1440<br \/>\n&#8211; Supported Hardware: Nearly every needed driver incl. the optional WiFi Food is\u00a0coming with Windows 8 to go without the audio driver. Regarding VIA the audio\u00a0driver is currently under development and will be available soon.<br \/>\n&#8211; No issues if using Bitlocker Drive encryption coming with Windows 8 to go.<\/p>\n<p>Disadvantage:<br \/>\n&#8211; Of course the System can not be managed by the IGEL UMS in any kind\u00a0when running Windows 8 to go<br \/>\n&#8211; You\u00a0might be\u00a0required to\u00a0increase the RAM if you are not already using a Windows 7 based UD5, i tested it also with 1 GByte RAM and it works for me too but it&#8217;s a little bit slower and 2GByte of RAM\u00a0is the Microsoft defined requirement to use Windows 8.<br \/>\n&#8211; Currently no audio driver from VIA is available (also not thru Windows update)<br \/>\n&#8211; I don&#8217;t recommend to use a UD2 for this, a UD3 might provide enough perfomance but i would prefer a UD5 in any way&#8230;. I will check out a UD9 later incl. touch Screen but i suggest this combination will work too.<br \/>\n&#8211; Not official supported by IGEL Technology<\/p>\n<p>Advantage:<br \/>\n&#8211; Very simple way to switch from a full managed to a none managed Windows based desktop without touching the original IGEL OS.<\/p>\n<p>Use case:<br \/>\n&#8211; Mobile workers using Windows 8 to go can use a thin client as &#8220;fast to setup&#8221; workplace.<br \/>\n&#8211; Guest workers can get a seperate full Windows workplace that is not attached to your environment in only\u00a0a few minutes.<br \/>\n&#8211; Lab environments to check\/create Windows 8 to go based desktops\/medias or need to switch the OS very fast to access or test other\u00a0systems in the environment.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers<\/p>\n<p>Michael<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello Folks, today i&#8217;ve tested Windows 8 to go together with an IGEL UD5 incl. the optional WiFi Add-On Food and here are the results.
