Please can I ask what's the difference between the microbit and the microbit go, Will this provide everything needed? does it work with win.10? Thanks

hi. Yes it works with windows 10. the GO version includes a USB cable and a battery box. that's the only difference

Hi is it Mac compatible?

Yes .. There are details on website around connecting to a mac. The apps for programming it are all web based so no problems there. Enjoy

Will this work on an ipad or kindlefire?

Not tried it on a tablet, sorry

Does this need to be connected to a pcs to work? if so will it work with a mac?

Yes but you need to be running OS X 10.6 or higher. See here -https://www.microbit.co.uk/device/usb
