Microsoft Windows 10 Pro Workstation 32

Microsoft Software

Product description

Windows 10 Pro for Workstations supports devices with persistent memory1 (aka non-volatile memory, or NVDIMM-N) so you can speed through advanced workloads with the fastest data storage possible on workstations. In addition, persistent memory keeps your files at hand in the event of a system power loss. In addition to speed, you also get server-grade data protection on your workstation - a very new and highly valuable feature for anyone working with large volumes of data, including intellectual property that needs to be preserved over time. Windows 10 Pro for Workstations combines Microsoft's Resilient File System (ReFS) with Storage Spaces to provide highly resilient storage for large volumes of data so you can rest assured your data is automatically backed up to multiple mirrored drives. In addition, ReFS detects when data becomes corrupt on one of the mirrored drives, and then repairs data across your drives to ensure you're working with clean data. With Windows 10 Pro for Workstations, you can select high-performance configurations with up to 4 CPUs (previously limited to 2 CPUs) and add massive memory up to 6TB (previously limited to 2TB), and it is required for server-grade Intel Xeon or AMD Opteron processors. We've also rolled the workstation capabilities into Windows 10 Enterprise (see diagram below). These machines provide an enormous amount of power to run advanced workloads, with compute cycles left free so you can run other apps simultaneously.

  • Speed through demanding workloads and file transfers
  • Work confidently with server-grade data protection on your workstation
  • Feel the power of high-performance workstations

User questions & answers

Question: Can I attach a 34" Monitor to this (or three of them?) Or does it only fit
Answer: You can attach a single 34" monitor (or larger) but if you plan to attach three of them, absolute max size is 32" with 27" being recommended as the max/best size in triple configuration. Please ensure that your monitors have the VESA mounting in the back (4 hole pattern).
Question: Hello, how much space is needed to use this item
Answer: Hello Rawllee, as the other people suggested 5ftx5ft is what is needed. Ideal placement is in corner of room to minimize the space taken.
Question: What size monitors can be put up and how do you configure them to spread out over three tvs do it looks natural
Answer: Up to 30" (must be VESA compatible - 4-bolt patten on back). You enable a setting in the graphics card configuration that "spreads" the desktop onto the 3 monitors and corrects for the bezel width.
Question: Hello,how heavy is this seat
Answer: Are you asking about the total weight of this cockpit or just the seat (apart from the rest of the framework). The total weight of this cockpit is around 120 lbs. The seat itself probably weighs around 30 lbs or so. Hope this helps.

User questions & answers

Question: Does it come with every thing in the picture
Answer: It does have an auto shut off. No over ride.
Question: Does this computer come with professional photoshop
Answer: Info included in box paperwork.
Question: Can you add a second monitor to this
Answer: 12” X24”
Question: Can you up the GB
Answer: Every manufacturer of heating products tells you not to lay on their products. They do not want you to get burned from misusing their products and sue them, kind of like the old lady that sued after getting burned by hot coffee. All of that said, I fall asleep on mine but use the lowest setting.

User questions & answers

Question: Can this hold the honeycomb alpha flight controls yoke & switch panel and the bravo throttle quadrant? i see a question for yoke from 12/9/19 about it
Answer: Definitely the Yoke and you could have Logitech panels mounted on the yoke and/or the stand. The Bravo quadrant is not available yet...so who knows.
Question: How much total weight will the stand support? Can it hold a 15 lb home made instrument panel assuming I securely mount it
Answer: The stand should have no problem holding 15 lbs. It is well made and quite robust.
Question: is it stable enough to support yoke pulls and pushes
Answer: Very stable. Had no issues with it at all.
Question: Will this flight sim configuration also work well with a racing wheel and throttle pedals for car racing sims? Or will you have to buy extra parts
Answer: Yes it is possible. However, we suggest you buy the racing wheel upgrade kit. The point is not to have to unscrew your flight sim equipment all the time...with the extra parts you would just take out the flight sim pole/ plates with the yoke etc attached and replace with wheel mounting pole/plate wheel.

Product features

Stability

How can something so light and unobtrusive be stable? The stability comes from the design that incorporates the user into the stability. The user has two contact points with the unit 1) Hands on the wheel and 2) Feet on the pedals. The physics of this enable Wheel Stand Pro to maintain a footprint that allows a compact frame without sacrificing the simulation experience. The wheel and the pedals are hard bolted to the frame...all of this adds up to a solid simulator experience.

What about the pole, is that going to get in the way of my experience?

Good question. Fortunately for you and Wheel Stand Pro...no. Your left leg is to the left of the pole and your right leg is ...well, right of the pole. No conflict. Not only that, but in this design the two primary adjustments that are commonly made are within easy reach.

You supply the gear, we supply the stand
