Advice for maximising Windows Embedded Standard 7 success

ThoricSolutions · 01-23-2019, 09:56 PM

I understand the DisplayLink drivers are not officially supported on Windows Embedded Standard 7 systems, however I am looking into a project built on WES7 that would benefit from the addition of two USB based external displays (ordinary monitors).

I see from other posts that Alban (Tech Support) is aware of people successfully using certain drivers on WES7.

To maximise my chances of success, I'd like to get more information on which chips give the most stability (anecdotally if not definitively) and the associated drivers.

For example, is VGA output more stable than a digital connection (such as DisplayPort).

I've read that the 7.7 M4 drivers work well on WES7, but I can only find drivers for 7.6M1 on the Windows downloads page. Where please are the 7.7M4 drivers available?

I'm looking at adding two monitors. Should I get a single adapter with dual output, or two independent adaptors and use up two USB ports (which is OK by me)?

Thanks in advance for the feedback!
