Raspberry Pi is usually the first option to consider when we talk about single board computers in robotics and automation. However, this development board is focused on supporting a variety of operating systems including Linux distributions and the Windows 10 IoT Core. For instance, if you plan to run the Windows 10 IoT Core, the operating system is not always intuitive, and you need good support for an efficient use of the operating system.

However, you don’t need to search through thousands Windows 10 features and extension to solve every Raspberry Pi problem. You can search through professional tutorials which provide excellent information, and of course, can save you a lot of time.

The Raspberry Pi 2 and Raspberry Pi 3 are our two pieces of exciting projects with Windows 10. Despite the Raspberry Pi 2, the Raspberry Pi 3 has built-in Wireless and Bluetooth LE, which make easier to connect the board to the Internet. In addition, the Windows 10 IoT Core adds support for the official Raspberry Pi Wi-Fi dongle and other common Wi-Fi dongles.

Eleven months ago we had presented a hand-picked collection of Raspberry Pi 2 OS selection for designers and developers. Now it’s time for a fresh list of Windows 10 learning tutorials. This article provides professional Windows 10 tutorials aiming to help you get Windows IoT Core skills quickly and improve the quality of your applications.
