Microsoft has released the public version of their pared down version of Windows 10 meant for the Raspberry Pi 2 and Minnowboard Max, called Windows IoT Core.


Windows IoT Core is a light version of the operating system and doesn’t include a windowed interface or desktop experience. Instead, it’s meant for developers to make their own apps using Windows as a backbone. For developers, this should make it a little easier to distribute and share your projects, though you will need a computer running the full version of Windows 10 alongside Visual Studio 2015 to use it. You can download the full version of Windows 10 IoT Core over on Microsoft’s site.
