You can use the AIMB-786 with
Windows Support
- A3200 was tested to make sure that it works with Windows 10 when used with the Advantech AIMB-786. Windows 11 is not supported for A3200.
- You must disable the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) and all of the features that depend on it, such as BitLocker and drive encryption, so that A3200 will have good real-time performance.
Configuration Tested by Aerotech
The list that follows includes information to take note of when purchasing an Advantech PC.
- Aerotech recommends that you order Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 (not Windows 10 Professional) so that you have more control over automatic updates.
- You must use MBR partitioning to install Windows in Legacy boot mode. EFI booting with GPT partitioning is not supported for real-time performance reasons. Make sure Arrow or Advantech knows this requirement when you order.
- You can select a different amount of RAM. But, make sure that you order two RAM sticks so that you can use dual channel memory.
- You can customize the size of your SSD.
- Integrated Intel UHD Graphics has better real-time performance than a dedicated graphics card.
