To DH: Thx for your Reply. Q1 So your (wife's) is the Pi-Top Laptop Not the Pi-TopCEED (which I have)? Q2. WRT powering the Up SBC, the current draw is spec'd at 5V@3A. Tech Support at Pi-Top said that the Pi-Top Hub Board is only 5V@1A. But you run OK off this Internal 5V? Q3: I am going to put Win10 on my Up SBC. What O/S is on yours? Q4 Do you want a Legit Win8.1 Product Key that you cab parlay into a Free Legit Copy of Win10 H/P 32/64? For Free.
To DH: Great. 1) go to the microsoft site and try to find "Win10 Upgrade to ver. 1607", there also should be instructions to put it on a Flash Drive (that becomes Boot-able). Flash Drive capacity should hold at least 2.72GB. I made mine on 03OCT16. I hope it is still there up at Microsoft, 2) send me an email at elyee@verizon.net, and I will send you a legit Win8.1 Product Key. 3) You boot off the Flash Drive, I read somewhere that the Up SBC has a similar BIOS/UEFI (like PC computers. 4) When asked for a Product Key enter the Win8.1. Product Key. 5) What do you want? (a) W8H 32/64bit OR W8P 32/64bit.?
Thx for your take on the Current (mA) needs of the Up SBC. I agree, the Pi-Top Hub should be able to power it. I have ordered mine today. When I put it together, I will interpose my "portaPow" USB Voltage/Ammeter Tester, between the Pi-Top Hub and the Up SBC. I may go through GPIO pins 4 & pin 6 though. Instead of the Barrel Connector
TS {Time Stamp] =19MAY17. At Microsoft WIN10 Download Site , download ver 1703 onto USB Flash Drive (4GB will do). Stick USB Flash Drive in USB Port. "hit" F7 at BIOS/UEFI Screen. Your USB Flash Drive should show up. select the USB FD, "hit" Return. BTW Win10 Ver 1607 on a USB FD, DID NOT BOOT
