Setup
On the first boot of the BT3 Pro Took me to the windows setup, language product key etc etc (No need to enter a windows key here) just skip it for now then you will find it gets fully activated after the setup is compleat.I then got notified that there was a windows update so i let that run, That Took over an hour to update and now i have the latest Windows Version 1703 Build 15063.413
DEVICE
My BT3 PRO is now showing around 41.5GB of free space in windows after all the updates.
A quick look at the BT3 PRO

What works
64GB & 128GB sd works
128GB USB Stick
Samsung 1TB unpowered HD works
Tronsmart Mars G01 Gamepad works
Logitech c270 webcam works
The boot time on the BT3 PRO is around 25 seconds & that takes you straight to the main windows screen where your ready to go.The BT3 PRO has plenty of venterlation holes & with all the testing iv done the device has only ever got warm never hot.I think this is down to the nice sized heatsink thats fitted to the PCB.
The Beelink BT3 Pro is a all plastic square box with venterlation holes, Also a extra large aluminum heatsink on top of the PCB, Giving it a good chance to keep the unit cool
