[MinnowBoard] Installing Windows 8.1 on the MinnowBoard Max?

[Peter Wieland]

Rufus looks like a pretty nice looking tool.  I'll have to go and try it out.

FAT32, 4K cluster size. I am going from memory here but that seems to be the magic formula if I remember correctly.

There's quite a few devices yellow banged in device manager but I did find the HD graphics which helped quite a bit.

Yes! I played with Rufus also yesterday, but I didn't do the ISO image transfer part. Now it worked, and installed on an SD card without complaints. 

It took about 10 minutes with rufus, using the other documentation it was hours and required installing n+1 programs and devkits (and didn't work) Simple is beautiful :-)
