I have a giada mi ION2 BOARD with nvidia

[Jawbraeka]

Hey guys.. 

Found this board and not sure what luck we may have.. It has an nvidia GPU.. And might be awesome as a kodi/xbmc board, plus with a little help.. Might even run hyper spin (one can dream, can't they?)

Would this be an ideal board for trying to get a hyper spin setup running?

As far as I can tell, it has windows support as well as Linux, with a suspected support for android.. 

It also has referenced an rf remote control, rather than an infrared control and has onboard Bluetooth and wireless N support.. 

Any advice would be appreciated.. Thanks.

Are you looking for a cheaper way to setup a gaming and media box? Or is there another reason for looking into a board like this?

[Jawbraeka]

It's a board in a media box I have.. 

Called the Seebo max.. A simple google search will reveal it..

So being the software is so limited in it, but the advantage is I can choose what Sata drive (and possibly USB stick) I can boot from.

Just wondering if maybe booting from a smaller ssd or hard drive with windows might do the trick as I have the hardware already, and being it has Bluetooth support, might make for an ideal gaming box.

Ah, so u alrdy own one and would like to use it. I dont see why it would have any issue running Windows and there for HS

Just curious if the GPU is enough to support it is all.. Hrrrm guess I'll be getting a HD at some point and testing this theory out.  If it does work, I'll be hunting a second board and making a standalone hyper spin if that's the case.

does anyone know of a flash image for windows 10 for usb i could find for testing purposes only..?

pm me to helpo with linnk as i will presume piracy and sharing links for images is not allowed..

You could just use the windows 10 usb tool. 

[Jawbraeka]

Ohhh OK.. So does the USB tool make a bootable image so I can plug in, boot and use the is like akin to a livecd with Linux?

[Dilated18]

it will jus put the image on the usb for install.  Didnt realize u were looking for a external type boot device but I guess thats smart for testing. I just jumped to the conclusion that there wouldnt be any problems installing windows 10 on it. Im pretty sure it meets all the requirements to run windows 10 just not sure how good of a job it would do. The only problems I think u mite have is with new updates. Is that the same board thats in the Seebo maxx?

[Jawbraeka]

Yes it is.
