How to Install Windows 10 on ARM on Raspberry Pi 3/4

After successfully running on Raspberry Pi 3 in the first half of 2019, developers have recently installed an ARM-optimized version of Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi 4.Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi 4 officially support the Windows 10 IoT Core version, but this version is different from the regular version running on desktop computers; it is a simplified version designed for low-power computers.

For example, the Windows 10 IoT Core version does not allow traditional Win32 applications to run, nor does it boot to the desktop.The IoT Core version allows only one UWP application to run at a time, designed to run small applications specifically for small computer motherboards.

Fortunately, using the unofficial technical preview, you can run Windows 10 on ARM on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and Raspberry Pi 4B.Unlike the IoT Core version, Windows 10 ARM is an operating system designed for ARM, which comes with a traditional desktop and supports Win32 applications through emulation.

Developer Marcin managed to run Windows 10 ARM on the Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, and he also released a detailed guide:

1. Download the UEFI firmware from here and extract it to a FAT32 formatted MicroSD card.

2. Download the tested optimized Windows 10 ARM64 Build 17134 from here, although any newer version through OOBE is theoretically compatible.

3. Download the ISO compiler from here. According to the developer, this will create an ISO file, but you still need the install.wim from the sources folder.

4. Download “Windows on Raspberry” from here. This will install Build 17134 or higher onto a USB storage device, and you need to select GPT.

After downloading these files, you must run the command prompt and follow the steps outlined here.

It is worth noting that some features of Raspberry Pi 4 may not be available on Windows 10 on ARM. For example, you can only use the Type-C USB port for charging and OTG. Windows 10 ARM also limits RAM to only 1GB, and the Broadcom auxspi controller driver does not work properly.
