    Hello

    Getting your self-manufactured all-in-one PC Windows certified involves several steps. Here’s a general guide to help you through the process:

    1. Understand the Requirements

    Windows Hardware Compatibility Program (WHCP): This program ensures that your hardware meets Microsoft's standards for compatibility with Windows. You need to follow the guidelines provided in the WHCP documentation.

    1. Join the Windows Hardware Developer Program

    Register: Sign up for the Windows Hardware Developer Program on the Microsoft Partner Center. This will give you access to the necessary tools and resources.

    1. Prepare Your Hardware

    Design and Build: Ensure your all-in-one PC meets the design and performance standards required by Microsoft. This includes using compatible components and adhering to thermal and power requirements.

    1. Testing

    Hardware Lab Kit (HLK): Download and run the Windows HLK to test your hardware. This kit will help you verify that your device meets the required standards.

    Self-Test: Perform self-tests using the HLK to identify and fix any issues before submitting your hardware for certification.

    1. Submit for Certification

    Submission: Once your hardware passes the HLK tests, submit the results to Microsoft through the Partner Center.

    Review: Microsoft will review your submission and, if everything is in order, grant certification.

    1. Maintain Certification

    Updates: Keep your hardware and drivers updated to maintain certification. Regularly check for updates to the WHCP and HLK.
