Our thinking is if the sign somehow gets hit with a virus/malware, we can simply reboot the sign (which happens automatically every night anyway) and the system will undo any changes that would have happened during the day, including the installation of the virus/malware.Īlso, we (the IT dept) is the only dept.

The other reason we're not upgrading the OS is the fact the the hard drive is one of the first generation SSDs that were built and is too small for Win 7 or 8.1.

We are not going to upgrade the OS on our sign simply because the Magic Info Pro software doesn't allow you to save changes to the OS after a reboot, unless you commit the changes through the software. Although it is not using Windows XP embedded, rather it's using the full version of Windows XP. Thanks for any insight you may be able to provide.ĭeanMueller.we have a similar Samsung digital sign as well. Anyone have any idea of where I can get the Specs for the embedded PC for the monitor? These are expensive monitors so if I can extend the capabilities of these by putting on windows 8, I think there is value in that. I even called Samsung but the person I talked to was clueless and didn't understand the fact that the PC part was embedded and kept telling me that the monitor doesn't care which OS it is using and it will work. These monitors have a PXE boot menu and from what I can see I should be able to replace the OS and upgrade the windows XP to Windows 8, but before I do I want to compare the hardware specs of my monitors to the minimum hardware specs of windows 8 embedded so I can have a clue as if it will work or not before I attempt it. Since Windows XP is going to be dropped from support soon I have researched and discovered that Microsoft has developed 'Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry' OS to support non-pc devices.

They come with the product 'Windows XP Embedded' and we have been using the software 'Magic Info Pro' to display our ads on the monitor. We have a couple of Samsung LCD 400FP-2 monitors in our company for digital signage.
