10Gbe and Windows Server on NUC

[Brandon_Kraemer]

I am considering a NUC for a dedicated mongoDB machine running Windows Server 2022 as the OS.  

Is this possible?  I can't seem to find much info if I can install Windows Server on a NUC or not.

Also, is the only NUC currently available with on board 10GbE RJ45 ports the NUC 12 Extreme?

Thanks,

bk

Hello Brandon_Kraemer,  

Thank you for posting on the Intel® communities. I understand that you have some questions about the compatibility of the operating system with the NUC 12th Gen.

In this case, I would like to let you know that the 12th Gen NUCs are not compatible with the Windows servers. If you want to try Window server on any NUC that does not support this operating system, bear in mind that the NUC may not work as expected and you will need to get all the drivers and firmware from Microsoft.

You will find a list of the supported operating system for the Intel NUCs.

Let me know if you have further questions.

No, I have the information I need.   It would be great to see intel produce a NUC product that was approved to use with Windows Server and also supported 10G connectivity.
