[MinnowBoard] Installing Windows 8.1 on the MinnowBoard Max?

[David Rolfe]

Hi,

Anyone interested in the MinnowBoard Max should find the event very 
interesting, and for those who did it is now available for download in MP4 
(and other) formats.

Now that Windows is 'officially' supported, perhaps a few lines could be 
added to the Wiki on how to install Windows 8.1 on a MinnowBoard Max, just 
to start the ball rolling, as it were?

Thanks,

David

Microsoft announced support for Windows 8.1 on the MinnowBoard MAX.
There's some things (mostly a board support package with drivers) that
still needs to come out, and should be available for download by the end
of September, but you should be able to install Windows 8.1 (64-bit) on
a MAX without any issue assuming you have the latest firmware.
