No bit app support yet, sadly. I was born in Bangladesh. Microsoft does have a version of Windows 10 for ARM devices. You can install it on your Raspberry Pi 4 and run it. Click on More info. Click on Run anyway. Click on Yes. The downloaded files are being compressed. The ISO file is being created. The WoR archive should be extracted. Windows on Raspberry Imager app should be opened. Select a language and click on Next. Click on OK.

Click on Next. Click on the … button from the Image file section. Click on Accept. Click on Install. At this point, Windows 10 is installed on the microSD card. Click on Finish. Now, you can take out the microSD card from your computer and insert it on your Raspberry Pi 4. The configuration should be changed. To confirm the changes, press Y. Shows window running on Raspberry pi 4. And because of these rumors I brought one, second- hand from my friend. This will be the honest review to the performance of raspberry pi 4.

So, I installed windows 10 test mode on my micro-Sd card. I am using 5 ampere power supply, yes, this one is overkill raspberry pi needs maximum 3amps. Also, a stock cooler is there which is very helpful to cool the system. And this is mandatory when pi is overclocked. An external 7inch touch screen and wired Keyboard and mouse system. On the max settings of CPU and 8gb of ram, the performance of windows on raspberry is very bad.

Also, the CPU temperatures is too high even with this stock cooler. Yet raspberry is handy portable option to some of the devices. If I compare it with other options like Pentium and Core 2 duo, they perform very good. If you are thinking to buy something like this for desktop, it may not be the better option. But raspberry pi is champion in the work it is made for- IOT hubs, transferring data, weather prediction, electronics projects, collecting information and supply chains.

This comes pre-populated with a few settings you shouldn\’t change, but if you want to add other startup conditions for your Windows install drive like CPU or GPU overclocks, for example you can do it here before flashing begins.

The script then downloads Windows files from Microsoft\’s servers and converts them into an install ISO, which is copied to the drive you chose. The process takes a while on a Pi, primarily because you\’ll be waiting on its slowish CPU to do a lot of compression work. But when you\’re done, installing Windows works a lot like it does on a PC. I have been planning to have a pi4 connected to an additional display in my office, maybe I\’ll look at doing this so I can run some of the weird applications I need Andrew Cunningham Andrew is a Senior Technology Reporter at Ars Technica with over a decade of experience in consumer tech, covering everything from PCs to Macs to smartphones to game consoles.

Launch MiniTool Partition Wizard to get its main interface, and then select the SD card from the disk map and click on Format Partition from the left pane.

Besides, you can set its Partition Label and Cluster Size based on your needs. Open the WoR installation folder and double click the WoR. A pop-up window like this shows up. Click on Next to continue. Step 4. Select your SD card from the Storge drive drop-menu and select Raspberry Pi 4 from the Device type section, then click on Next to continue. Step 5.

In the Select image tab, click on the three-dot icon to select the ISO file you just created and select the Windows edition from the drop-down menu, and then click on Next. Step 6. Select the Use the latest package available on the server option and click on Next.

Step 7. In the Configuration tab, you can set up the Partition scheme, Boot options, and Install image based on your demands. Click on the Advanced button, you can change the Memory limit.

Then click on Next to go on. Step 8. Go to the Install tab and click on Install after you double-check everything for the Windows 10 Raspberry Pi 4 installation. Aside from the SSD drive, you will only need the basic accessories, as with any other operating system, and a bit of time to prepare everything :. By the way, I did have to test several versions to find one that works the best for me. If you are reading this in two years, it might be useless, but for your information, the version that worked well for me was: I lost so much time by trying different versions from both websites until finding this one… Here is the direct link if it helps.

The next step is to use the cmd file we got to download the Windows 10 files to build the ISO image. If you used the first website uudump. This step will still be longer than we are used to with Linux systems, but not that much. On a SSD drive, it should be something like 15 minutes.

On a SD card it can be really long, probably over an hour. Once your drive is ready, you can plug it into your Raspberry Pi or insert the SD card and boot it up.

This step also is pretty long, as there is an installation process running in the background to configure everything for your specific device. As with any Windows 10 installation, there are a few things to configure in the first boot , like Cortana and all the privacy policies that Microsoft tries to disable for you:. Once done, you should get access to the Windows 10 desktop interface. Yeah, Windows 10 is now running on our Raspberry Pi, but how does it actually work?

Is it a good system for desktop usage? Overall, the system is pretty responsive. You can browse in the settings or file explorer without any lag, and the default apps work pretty well.

Watch the video at the end of this tutorial to get a better idea of how it runs. The default apps on my edition were basic ones Accessories, Paint 3D, Office, etc. After digging a bit into the system configuration, I found that not everything was working perfectly. As you have seen for the installation part, the Raspberry Pi is not supported by Microsoft, so this installation is more of an experiment than a perfect solution.

After the configuration issues, I also tried installing other random apps. This is the most exciting part with an official Windows 10 running on Raspberry Pi in the future. Yeah, we are pretty far from the original vision and the license system will probably be an issue.

A little warning however about the performances of this operating system. As there is no optimization for the Raspberry Pi, you will reach the limits pretty quickly with some usage. For example, watching YouTube on Google Chrome will be complicated. Check the video below to see the results I got. Reminder: Remember that all my Patreon supporters get access to this website without ads, early access to my videos and much more.

It can be a decent solution for basic usage if you absolutely need to run Windows, but if you have the choice a distribution like Twister OS would probably be a better alternative. By the way, maybe you are new on Raspberry Pi and were looking for an easy way to stay on Windows because you are used to it on the PC.
