How to add smart TV function on Windows 10 to any TV

If you want to give your TV the “smart TV” function for watching videos over the Internet, then nothing could be easier. All you need to do is add a small board and your TV will immediately turn into a real, full-fledged computer running a modern Windows 10 system.

Such a set-top box can be added not only to a TV, but also to a monitor, thereby turning it into a silent computer.

In this article we will talk about a miniature PC with AliExpress on one board with Windows 10 pre-installed.

Will need

Windows 10 Mini PC 2GB/32GB “LattePanda” V1 - http://alii.pub/5uzvvu

The kit includes the computer board itself and a wi-fi antenna. The power supply is not always included, it all depends on the seller.

A brief overview of the capabilities of a mini computer

As a matter of fact, you don’t need anything other than this board, because this is a fully-fledged computer that easily fits in the palm of your hand.

The PC is equipped with a quad-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of built-in flash memory. This applies to this, the simplest assembly, but there are also many more powerful ones.

The processor operates without active cooling.

The interfaces we need are 3 USB ports, a connector for connecting an audio video signal - HDMI.

If you want to increase the memory, you can insert a flash card.

The PC module is equipped with wi-fi and Bluetooth.

How to connect a Windows 10 Mini PC to your TV

We connect wi-fi and a power supply to the board.

Next, a wired or wireless mouse and keyboard via USB.

That's all, you can turn it on.

Windows 10 boots in seconds.

This assembly is easily enough to watch high-definition videos “without lags” and even play not very demanding games.

I would like to draw your attention and clarify that this board has noticeable advantages over cheaper set-top boxes on the Android system: since on Windows 10 you can not only work like a regular PC, but also run all the necessary programs. The board has all the necessary interfaces, and you can connect any device that is compatible with a Windows 10 computer to USB.

  Is 9 thousand for a full-fledged computer, and even with the system, really expensive??? Where can you assemble such a palm-sized computer for this money?

    Ali bought a Mini PC for 80-90 bucks in the barebone version. And a good computer on XEON 1535 (1505) with all the kit costs only 300 bucks! Moreover, the computer turns out not to be a stub like in the article, but such that you won’t want a regular one anymore. And here 300 is for the youngest version, without a case, memory is not enough even for Andryusha. For Windows 4 now, maybe it won’t be out of date for another year, but it’s better to take more.

For $130 you can build a much more interesting one for Windows, but a little larger in size. If you watch videos, it is better to buy TVBOX. It seems to me that this is a highly specialized device, especially since it does not have SATA, Windows will be slow.

A broken laptop motherboard can be repaired for 500 rubles, screwed on and everything works. Anyone can buy a laptop for 5,000 rubles and it’s much cooler than a smart TV, already in a case with a monitor
