Signing into Microsoft Connect
Before downloading any software, you must sign up for the Windows Developer Program for IoT on Microsoft Connect. This is a necessary step in order to download the WindowsDeveloperProgramforIOT.msi and other program files.
Microsoft Connect facilitates a unified hosting service for file downloads and provides users with an interface for reporting potential bugs and valuable feedback in our product. The flow of the Microsoft Connect sign-up process can vary based on a number of circumstances.
Choose the relevant drop-down option below to receive instructions on the process.
