You’ll need to be running the Windows 10 Insider Build before you can develop or deploy code to the Pi. We took a few hours to go through the setup so we could take Windows 10 IoT Core for a spin on Raspberry Pi here are our initial impressions and notes. It made an appearance at yesterday’s BUILD keynote, and merged with a Hololens overlay that the audience was able to see through some camera magic. The B15 robot, shown above, is powered by a Raspberry Pi 2 running Windows along with an Arduino. Microsoft has officially opened access Windows 10 support for the Raspberry Pi 2 as of last night - coming through on their February announcement that they’d be offering the OS for the diminutive computer. With the installed release, you can now build and deploy apps from a Windows 10 PC running Visual Studio.
