Update this Intel NUC model to BIOS version 0030 or later before installing any Intel® processor I/O controller drivers. This update eliminates any errors that can display in Device Manager on I/O controller devices.

See Installation issues with Windows 8* and Windows 8.1* for limitations with these operating systems.

The eMMC embedded storage can be used for small-footprint operating systems, as typically used for thin-client, and light-embedded applications. Check your OS minimum requirements before trying to install an OS to this device.
