4. A Micro-USB cable for connecting the RasPi3 to a power sources
5. A mouse and keyboard
6. A monitor with HDMI support, or an HDMI to [whatever] adapter for your monitor
7. A wired network connection for the RasPi3.

1. Ensure you’ve got Windows 10 on your developer machine. If you don’t, go get a machine with Windows 10 and don’t come back here until you do.
2. Download the Windows 10 Iot Core Dashboard . You’ll need it to configure your Micro SD card for the RasPi 3.
3. Insert the Micro-SD card into your computer and use the IoT Core Dashboard to configure the MicroSD card with Windows 10 IoT Core.
4. Once successful, insert the MicroSD card into the unpowered RasPi3 and plug it in to power it up. 5. You should also have your monitor, mouse and keyboard hooked up by this point.
6. Configure the RasPi3 to connect to your network, and ensure that your Desktop computer with the dashboard and the RasPi3 are on the same network so that the Dashboard can detect your RasPi3.
7. Use the Windows 10 IoT Core Dashboard on your desktop PC to connect the RasPi3 to an IoT Hub in Azure.
