The retail demo experience begins with a video, which plays repeatedly while the device is idle. When the video attract loop plays, the Start screen is restored back to a pre-set state. Photos and videos taken by previous customers are deleted and the demo photos are also restocked.
Use full-screen imagery to focus on key selling points (KSPs) of the device. Our research shows that shoppers are attracted to loops that show off hardware features with fast moving graphics and colorful imagery, but loops that function as advertisements don't resonate with shoppers.
Limit the video message to 1 or 2 KSPs. The loop is designed to get shoppers to interact with device. If the attract loop looks like an advertisement, shoppers are less likely to pay attention and interact with the system.
Avoid text in your video. Videos without text are easier to scale across multiple markets and locales since there are no localization costs. In addition, shoppers typically view only part of the video, so your text might not be viewed in its entirety.
You can replace the default attract loop video with your own customized video, which you can save to your device images. Doing so makes this video available to the shopper even if the retailer never connects the demo device to the internet. This content should not be time-sensitive or seasonal, and it should be appropriate for all regions and languages the device will ship to.
For devices sold in multiple regions or with multiple languages:You can add region and/or language-specific versions for attract loops. When there is no region-specific or language-specific content, the default (\Neutral) content is displayed.
Each content page contains one or more sections that are comprised of media (images and video), text copy, and Call-to-Action (CTA) buttons or links to encourage the shopper to explore the featured content. If a content page contains multiple sections, a feature bar displays at the bottom. The customer can move between content sections of the page by selecting features in the bar or by scrolling up and down the page.
In the tool, you can create a base set of content which you can save to your device images. Doing so makes this content available to the shopper even if the retailer never connects the demo device to the internet. This content should not be time-sensitive or seasonal, and it should be appropriate for all regions and languages the device will ship to.
In the tool you can also create new or updated content which can be delivered online to your devices. This content can be targeted by language, region, and model, so that when a targeted device is connected to the internet, it automatically receives the updates and shows the new content.
OEMs can specify a theme color, navigation selected-button color, and logos for the Retail Demo app, in addition to adding unique page content. Colors and logos are specified at the app level, and content is specified at the page level. OEMs can also choose between one of three templates: Hero, Immersive Hero, and Mosaic (described below).
Use the Immersive Hero template when there is a specific part of the device, or a specific feature, you want to call out. You can switch the position of the copy and the image for an alternative placement. A combination of title, copy, and/or a call-to-action link can be used here.
Use this template to show components as a graphic montage. This template is very versatile because you can use it with or without a text file. It always extends the full content area. Use the mosaic to support a theme, communicate an idea, or present top picks around particular topics. Add call-to-action links if you need to direct users to another page. CTAs are typically centrally aligned and appear at the bottom of the tile.
You will need to go through the process outlined below for each language you intend to provide Retail Demo app content for. The process will take you through building content for specific regions or locales, and storing it in the appropriate file path.
Many shoppers use the library content (photos, videos, documents) to fully explore the experience within the many apps available on the device or from the Microsoft Store. It is highly recommended to include this content in your image.
We strongly recommend you ensure that the apps included on the device take advantage of the retail demo mode. Not only will your app look amazing for a retail customer, you may even get increased app awareness due to the discovery of your app that leads to post-purchase install.
In a short time after a shopper stops interacting with the device, the retail demo plays, and Windows begins resetting any sample data in the contacts, photos, and other apps. Depending on the device, this could take between 1-5 minutes to fully reset everything back to normal.
In the RDX admin settings page, you can choose up to 21 days to keep admin account active, or you can choose to keep it active perpetually. A password is required to make an admin account perpetually active.
Windows provides a way to set times for the devices to turn on and start retail demo mode automatically. Likewise, you can schedule when the devices shut down. These features allow you to save energy costs, to schedule updates, and to restore the retail demo experience automatically. You can configure shutdown times on the client during the out-of-box experience (OOBE), or post-OOBE during the retail demo mode setup. Additionally, you can configure automatic shutdown times using Retail Demo Asset Management (RDAM) after retail demo mode has been set up.
For devices with 32GB of storage or less, by default, the components are automatically removed 30 minutes after the customer completes OOBE. To change this schedule, find the registry key HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\OOBE and set the value DeleteDemoContentDelay to a number of minutes from 30 and 10080 (= 7 days).

If, for whatever reason, we need to purchase the Standard version, and we do not qualify for either an OEM or a volume license, can you just buy a single retail copy? And, if so, can anyone provide the SKU or a link to a product page?

A Windows 10 Retail license refers to the license that you acquire when purchasing a copy of Windows 10 from Microsoft store or an authorized retailer. If you have a Windows 10 Retail license, you can transfer it to another computer, as long as you deactivate the old device. There is no limit on hardware.
A Volume license is designed for a large business, education, and government scenario. Usually, a Volume license allows organizations to use one master product key to activate multiple computers without having to enter a different key for each computer.
MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network) is an early service provided by Microsoft specifically for developers. Companies and people who develop software using Microsoft technology can use MSDN license by subscribing it.
