I would presume that a single topic is fine. I must say that I am shocked that moderators would delete both an original topic and another that simply pointed to it. I lost the last one here, too, so am now posting again, as a single post, in only the Windows 10 forum.
I have a situation where I will be using a service called Spinify to stream content to multiple TV sets for public display. The location where I will be doing so (and someone else will be doing the long term "care and feeding" after setup) is already a Windows 10 shop, so I've eliminated ChromeOS-based and Amazon Fire-based options as just adding another layer of complication by involving another operating system with which no one is familiar.
There are quite a few options on Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/s?k=windows+10+streaming+stick
Based on recent developments with Microsoft wanting at least 32GB of free space for Feature Updates that pretty much eliminates the 2GB/32GB options. There are lots of 4GB/64GB options. Since the only thing the device will be used for is streaming there is no need for massive "firepower."
I have no experience with this specific hardware, and there are often brands and/or models to seek out that are more robust and ones to avoid.
Anyone who has direct experience with these devices and has recommendations (whether for a good one or input on "avoiding like the plague") I'd appreciate hearing those.
