Microsoft also announced the optional minimum requirements, and TapTechNews attaches the official introduction as follows:

The optional minimum requirements for Windows IoT Enterprise Edition are for device manufacturers to use when building dedicated devices, and it provides a selected device-like experience.

Some of these optional minimum requirements (such as lower storage requirements) require additional monitoring and management throughout the entire lifetime of the device to prevent the complete use of storage due to the growth of services or data files.

Before distribution, it is necessary to fully verify whether the selected configuration meets the needs of the dedicated device during its lifetime.
