Which Intel NUC powerful enough for Mediaportal ? NUC Users, please share your thoughts | Page 2

I'm running windows 10.

Your right about the USB thing with W7

I have 5 computers in the house all running W10 with no problems.

With the clock running out on support for W7
you're better off with W10

Regards

So MP is 100% compatible with Windows 10 then ?

 

I'm looking forward to the release of the new Gigabyte BRiX http://www.anandtech.com/show/10745/gigabyte-updates-brix-sff-pcs-with-intels-kaby-lake-cpus
and MSI Cubi 2 http://www.tomshardware.com/news/msi-cubi-2-mini-pc,32862.html
they both come with the new Kaby Lake processors

 

definitely. as well as the nuc, I have a PC in the lounge running W10 with MP and my sister runs W10 with MP no problem.

The one thing I like about the nuc is the built in ir. no need to use up one of the four usb's on a receiver.
now I haven't seen the new brix or the cubi but the previous brix models didn't have ir built in

 

I've already read about how to use the Creator Utility and also another way to put the usb 3.0 drivers inside the image.
I also was asking myself if you couldn't install it from an external cd/dvd drive, but as you said it won't work.

I first got to purchase the NUC.
We'll cross the Windows bridge when we get to it.

Didn't now that, thanks for the info.
I have a usb receiver and mediacenter remote.

 

I just got a quad core pentium based NUC (https://www.scan.co.uk/products/int...tium-n3700-4k-video-output-ddr3l-up-to-8gb-4x) with 8Gb RAM and a 64Gb SSD (crucial) and it seems to work absolutely fine with everything i've thrown at it so far. High bitrate 1080p works fine, live TV (1080i/p) etc. all fine. It's amazingly small and fairly quiet, you can adjust the fan if you want.
