Written by Misha Hanin   

Windows Thin PC (WinTPC) is a smaller footprint version of Windows 7 that allows customers to repurpose existing PCs as thin clients without requiring the VDA license to access VDI desktops. WinTPC replaces WinFLP. In addition, WinTPC will offer:

  • Rich VDI experience through support for RemoteFX
  • Improved end point security by denying certain disk writes via filters
  • Enterprise-grade management support through System Center

WinTPC is available as an .iso file. The Quick Start Guide is your first step in the Windows Embedded Thin PC Community Technology Preview, including installation steps and instructions for submitting feedback. This document can also be found under Downloads on the left side of the page. Microsoft also included a step-by-step Deployment Guide.
