I am considering purchasing a Beelink Mini S12 Pro N150 to replace my current Win11 desktop. I would appreciate answers to the following questions: Will the S12 support two 3840×2160 monitors as active primary/secondary screens? Will the Windows 11 Pro OS come up as activated? I’ll install my own Samsun SSD drive in the bottom of S12, but how do I change the S12’s BIOS to boot from that drive? I’ve read that on first bootup the S12 requires individual installation of many device drivers. Is this true, and if so where do the correct driver come from? Does the front audio jack support headphones with a microphone? If not, is there a way to get a microphone to work with the S12? Thanks in advance for any/all answers.

Birk Hi there,

Thanks for your inquiry.

1–Yes, it can support two 3840×2160 monitors as active primary/secondary screens?
2.—Yes, it comes with windows 11 pro preinstalled, the windows will be activated automatically once it connects the network.
3.—You can go to BIOS and set the Samsung SSD as the first boot option. Please repeatedly press delete key as soon as you turn on the PC, go to BIOS. On boot menu, set the Samsung SSD as the first boot option, then press F4 to save.
4.–You can install the orginal image : https://url.bee-link.cn/lBGU, Here is the picture tutorial https://mega.nz/file/KjZHyIqB#0EEVnG_1fWYCq_qL7GUYFGuD7nKqlV8FZWu78SVGXS4

Thanks for your timely reply - it looks like the S12 will meet my requirements. But I did encounter this problem:

I am unable to access either to the 2 URLs https://url.bee-link.cn/lBGU and https://url.bee-link.cn/PAGj. I tried with the Google Chrome browser and with the Brave browser, including using the Brave TOR option. All 3 gave the “URL not found” message. Could this be because I am in the US and those URLs are in China? Is there a fix that will enable access for me? Or perhaps alternative URLs?
