LCD Display Screens

[karan_jhr]

Hi

We have LCD Display screens equipped with Intel Celeron - 1GB ram DDR3. We are using them to display announcements etc using MS Powerpoint

Currently Windows XP is installed on them but i want to upgrade them with a latest version of Windows but their hardware limitations are not letting me installing any latest or heavy OS on them

Is there any other way like converting them to thin clients?

Any good software or recommended solution?

 

thanks

Have you tired installing Windows ThinPC?

Which Celeron CPU? Generally, if it has DDR3 it'll run the newer OS. Should be 64 bit too. Is the RAM soldered or socketed?

Have you looked at other options? We use Raspberry Pi's with Screenly on them and it works great

Well its all ready and working

thanks everyone

I installed Windows ThinPC on it

Changed Settings for best performance and Pagefile

Enabled Autologon

Then installed Powerpoint Viewer (use viewer 2007 not 2010. 2010 will not show full screen display and will show slide bars unless you right click and select full screen)

Used Shell Startup folder to place shortcut of the powerpoint show remotely shared on a local server

now any change on the remote file changed the display on all screens
