Installing Windows software in your EAGLE

EAGLE uses a Windows 10 64 bit operative system. This way it is compatible with all the astronomy software designed for Windows 10 64 bit and you are then free to install the software you want. In order to install your software, you can proceed in 2 ways:

1. Connect the EAGLE to an HDMI monitor and add a USB keyboard and mouse. This way you will be able to use the EAGLE as a standard desktop computer and install your software.

2. Connect your device (that you use to remotely control the EAGLE, like a smartphone, tablet or computer) to the EAGLE with WiFi and start your Remote Desktop client to see EAGLE’s desktop and install your software.
