Can I use Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Pro for my PC as a general OS?
Whenever you see the word ‘Embedded’ included in an OS then you can safely assume that embedded version is for systems with customized requirements.For example Intel Atom or ARM architecture CPUs have a very limited functionality.When cost and quantity are factors then there we use embedded systems.Windows 7 or 8.1 Embedded Pro, Standard can be used like normal PC OS of windows provided you install the default installations that are supplied during the installation phase of this OS. When you boot ISO of embedded system (probably from a USB) then you get an option of profiles i.e which profile you want to install. From profile it means that which type of user is interested in using this embedded system. Is it a user who will use this machine merely as Remote Desktop Connection Device (Also known as thin clients[1]) or will this machine be used a KIOSK with touch features enabled.The MOST important feature of embedded systems is the INSTALLATION SIZE of OS which can be compressed (reduced by unselecting useless features like solitare, movie maker, windows media player etc) even to a 2 or 4 GB Flash drive (Acting as a installation HDD in this case) (CF Cards in most cases). It means that if you have a Thin Client (Mini PC or Minified version of PC which lower configuration, fanless architecture thus lower processor etc).For example see this configuration from Dell Optiplex FX170 OptiPlex FX170 Thin Client which offers Intel Atom Processor based mini factor MINI PCs which are very light weight, takes very less electricity, can be remotely controlled with Active Directory. Such type of systems don’t have a SSD, IDE or SATA HDD. They have CF Cards instead of HDDs which are in 2GB, 4GB or 8 GB (upto 64 GB) in most cases.Windows Embedded (any version) allows you to selectively install ONLY required components and as a result target size of installation is around 2 GB to 4 GB as compared to normal 8 GB of Windows 7 Installation.Yes you can use Embedded systems instead of normal OS however they won’t upgrade to newer version of windows and get normal windows update because space and processing power both are big constraints here. You can do some OS tweaking to enable updates or manually install selectively updates though.Also Embedded systems are not designed to optimal use the full instruction set of a processor as they can be also run on lower end processors like Intel Atom, Celeron, ARM CPU etc.Footnotes[1] Thin client
What is the difference between the original and cracked version of Windows?
As a legit user I would like to tell you first thing is DONT GET ANY CRACK VERSION ON YOUR SYSTEM.In crack version without paying a single peny you will get full version of windows which ever you want to use.1) But you will not get update on that in any time.2) You will not have any support from windows on that.3) Some core drivers might not work at optimum.4) Also, if any malware is there then without noticing it will provide all information from your machine to there servers(mainly your keystrokes, passwords etc.).Also chances are there that any hacker can have system access without your notice as firewall may not work well in crack version.So, better option is to have legit os on machine.Also, windows is nowadays providing the free full version of windows if you get subscribe for the preview build. just go through https://insider.windows.com/Hope it will help you.
I am preparing for competitive exams, but for the past few days I have not been able to concentrate on studying and when I force myself I feel exhausted. When I start studying my mind wanders a lot. I'm in a 'do or die' situation as I have to clear those exams, but I am wasting my precious time. What should I do?
Thank you for this detail question description.The same things occur with every aspirants.They all do the same for fighting it off.But, what actually makes a difference is their unstoppable efforts to work onto the same.Fear, anxiety and pressure like things are very common in the struggle of clearing any competitive examination. Around millions are giving and thousands will be selected. Tough.Nothing except for going along and studying is the way to fight this.If you ask Google it has techniques like meditation and etc. If you start meditating with such kind of chaos in your mind then, you'll feel more low as you will depend upon meditation. Proper mediation gives result in and after 3–4 months of practice and till that time you don't have so much patience. Accept it. So it cannot help.As I said earlier, walking through the same. Studying is the way only.Hormones may play with you sometimes. Let it. But do remember when the game ends, you should be the winner.Don't feel low and stressful.Believe in your efforts, the results will walk to you as it is meant to be.Few things I personally practice to get rid of such things is:Yoga. Preferably, kapalbhati pranayama for 10 minutes daily. You can see the effects of the same on the internet.Weekly dopamine, serotonin and endomorphin doses. In my case I like to eat, so I prefer eating tasty and healthy food every week to keep myself happy.Build up the habit of patience. Slowly everything fades off and I'm again back on track.Discuss the issues with one close friend and with family. I said discuss, don't expect solutions. It will help.Finally, be passionate and keep reminding yourself, your 'why' for this journey.All the best!Thank you!Binoy Roy
