As you have built your own MTR, it is not a certified device, so won't show up.

Hi Graham,

What is the primary difference between a certified device and a spun up MTR, is the application that the certified device is running?

Thank you,
Michael

  MichaelDobo773 Certified devices have had 000s of hours of testing by several OEMs and spun up MTR has not been through the same testing and could produce unknown results.

Does anyone know if a MTR PC can be purchased outside of say a Logitech, Crestron, or Polycom Kit? I know Poly sells one, but I have a Logitech Tap, And I was wondering if I were to get the polycom MTR "PC" would the Tap from logitech work as intended.

I miffed up bigtime and didn't realized the MTR is a completely different OS. I need two MTR PCs!!!!

  Hi Danny_Pratt_CTS-D The compute should be purchased from the OEM as that is the certified build. But could you create your own, well yes, but you must use Windows 10 Enterprise VLSC edition. I know of others that have struggled building their own systems. Ultimately it won't be certified.
