When choosing a computer, you have a variety of options when it comes to operating systems. Microsoft, which is known for its Windows XP, Vista and 7 operating systems, has developed an operating system known as Windows Embedded CE, which is often used on point-of-sale and real-time devices. If you are interested in alternative operating systems, you should consider Microsoft's Windows Embedded CE 6.0 operating system, which you can install in a few easy-to-follow steps.
Step 1
Check the system specs of your computer by clicking the start menu and selecting 'about this computer.' In order to run Windows Embedded CE 6.0, you need to have a 933 MHz processor, 512 MB of RAM, 18 GB of available hard drive space, 1 GB of available space on the system drive, a DVD-ROM drive and a monitor.
Apr 12, 2016 Windows 7 Embedded Installation ISO I have an all-in-one computer that I am servicing. It has Windows 7 Embedded Standard. Windows must be reinstalled to a new hard drive, but I can't find the Embedded version anywhere for download (Microsoft tools only work for Windows 8 and 10). Since the version is exempt from the free Win10 upgrade, I must. I need to reinstall Windows 7 Embedded on my server but I'm not able to do so despite repeated tries. I tried booting up the server with the Windows Embedded 7 Setup ISO attached (using IPMI) and I've also tried running setup.exe in the CDROM after Windows has booted up.
Step 2
Download the Windows Embedded CE 6.0 files. Click the link in the Resources section, then click the button labeled 'download' next to the file labeled 'CE6R3.iso.' When the window opens asking you where you would like to save the file, choose your computer's desktop.
Install Windows Embedded CE 6.0 on your computer. On your computer's desktop, find the file labeled 'CE6R3.iso,' right-click it and select the option to 'open' or 'run' the file. Follow the steps on the installation wizard to properly install Windows Embedded CE 6.0 on your computer.

-->Embedded Mode is supported on Windows IoT Core and Windows IoT Enterprise. Embedded Mode enables:
- Use of the lowLevelDevice capability
- Use of systemManagement capability
Embedded mode is always enabled on Window IoT Core.Embedded mode must be enabled by following the steps below on Windows IoT Enterprise.
Background Applications
Background Applications are created using the Background Application (IoT) template in Visual Studio.Read more about creating Background Applications.
Background applications run without stopping and without resource limits. Also, if the background application stops for some reason and embedded mode is enabled the background application will be restarted by the system.
While the system will automatically restart background applications, system lockdown features must be enabled to prevent users from stopping or interfering with the operation of Background Applications.
lowLevel device Capability and lowLevelDevice capability
The lowLevel device Capability gives access to low-level hardware interfaces like GPIO, SPI, and I2C.
The lowLevelDevices Capability allows apps to access custom devices when a number of additional requirements are met. Thiscapability should not be confused with the lowLevel device capability, which allows access to GPIO, I2C, SPI, and PWM devices.
Refer to App capability declarations for details.
systemManagment Capability
When you enable the systemManagment capabilities for your application this is the set of APIs that gets unlocked:
Debugging Background Applications
If you are debugging on a device that is not running Windows IoT Core and you see either of the following error messages you need to ensure AllowEmbeddedMode is enabled on the device and that the Embedded Mode service is running:
- There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper.
- This program is blocked by group policy. For more information, contact your system administrator.
Changing the mode
To enable embedded mode you will need to create a provisioning package in Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD) that sets AllowEmbeddedMode=1. To install ICD you need to download and install the Windows ADK for Windows 10.
- When installing the ADK select Imaging and Configuration Designer (ICD)
- After installation is complete run Windows Imaging and Configuration Designer (WICD).
- Click Advanced provisioning. Name the project AllowEmbeddedMode and click Next.
- Choose Common to all Windows editions then Next.
- Click Finish.
- In the search box type EmbeddedMode and then click on AllowEmbeddedMode.
- In the center pane set the value of AllowEmbeddedMode to Yes
- Click Export > Provisioning Package
- Click Next.
- Click Next.
- Click Next.
- Click Build.
- To install the embedded mode .PPKG on Windows IoT Enterprise double-click on the .PPKG.
- Click Yes, add it.Click yes on the LUA dialog if it appears, and the click Yes, add it on the dialog shown below.
Configuring a Background Application to Run automatically
- To configure a Background Application to automatically run you will need to follow the directions to create an MinnowBoardMax SD Card and copy
D:windowssystem32iotstartup.exe
(where D: is your SD Card). - To get a list of installed Background Applications type:
- The output should include the full name of each installed Background Application, which will look like this:
- To configure this app to run at boot type:
- If the Background Application has been successfully added to the startup list you should see this:
- Restart the embedded mode device:
- Once the device has restarted, your Background Application will start automatically. The Embedded Mode service which manages Background Applications can take a few minutes to start. The embedded mode service will monitor Background Applications on the startup list and make sure they get restarted if they stops. If a Background Application stops several times in a short period of time it will no longer be restarted.
- To remove your Background Application from the startup list type:
- If the Background Application is removed from the startup list the output will look like this:
