Windows 10 on arm raspberry pi 3

Let me first say, I’m not a lawyer, so all I say here is just my opinion, or what I understand of this situation. Nothing I say should be interpreted as legal advice.

AFAIK an Windows 10 update License cost at least $139, and if I understand it MS claims you can only install it on Intel/AMD or Qualcomm (Arm) processors, (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/window … quirements) so it is still questionable if Microsoft condones this (on a CPU that is NOT on their compatibility list).

Also, an update licence implies that you already have system that runs an earlier version of windows, because for that money you buy an update to their latest OS, not a new installation. If you use the updater to install on a new empty storage device that may not be what they intend, so may be illegal.

I’m quite sure the RPF does NOT WANT you to use Windows 10, that means, (like Android) it won’t support the effort with drivers and such (so no USB driver support, and no GPU support and much more), these have to be reverse engineered, the ones included in the Windows update will not work.

But then IMHO from what I have seen in the past Microsoft knows very well that many Windows users don’t have a license, and it seems they are fine with that (up-to a point obviously). Probably their logic goes like this, «rather have them run an unlicensed windows, than a competitors OS».

Разработчики наконец установили оптимизированную для ARM версию Windows 10 на Raspberry Pi 4 после того, как некоторым людям удалось запустить ее на Raspberry Pi 3 в первой половине 2019 года.

Raspberry Pi 4 и Pi 3 официально поддерживают версию Windows 10 для IoT Core, которая не совпадает с версией Windows 10, которая работает на настольном компьютере, но является упрощенной версией для маломощных компьютерных плат.

Например, Windows 10 IoT Core не позволяет запускать традиционные приложения Win32 или даже загружаться на рабочий стол. IoT позволяет вам запускать одновременно одно приложение UWP, и реальная цель ОС на Pi – запускать небольшие приложения, предназначенные для миниатюрных компьютерных плат.

К счастью, есть новое руководство, чтобы заставить Windows 10 на ARM работать на Pi 3 B + и Pi 4B, используя неподдерживаемую техническую предварительную сборку. В отличие от IoT, Windows 10 on ARM представляет собой ARM-ориентированную версию ОС, которая поставляется с традиционным десктопом и поддержкой приложений Win32 посредством эмуляции.

Разработчику Marcin удалось установить Windows 10 on ARM на Raspberry Pi 4 Model B, и он также опубликовал подробное руководство.

Как установить Windows 10 на Raspberry Pi 4

– Загрузите прошивку UEFI

отсюда

и распакуйте ее на карту MicroSD в формате FAT32.
– Загрузите сборку Windows 10 ARM64

отсюда

. Только сборка 17134 была протестирована, но любая более новая сборка, которая проходит OOBE, также должна быть совместимой.
– Загрузите ISO-компилятор

отсюда

. В соответствии с разработкой, это создаст файл ISO, но вам все равно понадобится файл «install.wim» из «sources».
– Загрузите «Windows на Raspberry»

отсюда

. Оно установит Build 17134 или новее на USB-накопитель, но необходимо выбрать разметку GPT.

После загрузки этих файлов вы должны запустить командную строку и выполнить действия, описанные

здесь

.

Стоит отметить, что некоторые функции Raspberry Pi 4 могут не работать с Windows 10 на ARM. Например, вы можете использовать только USB-порт Type-C для зарядки и OTG. Windows 10 on ARM также ограничивает использование ОЗУ только в 1 ГБ, а драйвер контроллера Broadcom auxspi не работает.

Разработчики также портируют Windows 10 on ARM на телефоны Android, такие как Galaxy S8, OnePlus 6 и Xiaomi Mi Mix.

The Raspberry Pi is usually associated with Linux operating systems like Raspberry Pi OS (formerly known as Raspbian), Ubuntu, etc. But what about running Windows 10 on your Raspberry Pi? Well, it would be great for sure. However, Windows 10 is still not officially supported for Raspberry Pi. Microsoft’s only OS for Pi is the old Windows 10 IoT Core that just lets you execute Visual Studio codes but cannot work as a standalone OS with its GUI.

Though it is so, it didn’t stop some passionate developers to find a way to run a full desktop version of Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi. They have made it possible with the WoR project. With that, they developed a tool to flash an ARM image of Windows 10 on an SD Card (or an SDD), that can boot on a Raspberry Pi.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the exact steps to install Raspberry Pi Windows 10.

Requirements

• Raspberry Pi 4/3/2
• MicroSD Card (Faster is better, so a class A2 card is recommended)
• Ethernet Cable or Wi-Fi dongle
• Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor

Step 1: Download the Required Files

In order to get started with the installation, you have 2 things to download.

1. The WoR Tool [https://www.worproject.ml/downloads]

When you download this you will get a zip file with everything inside it. Keep it for now. We’ll use it later.

2. UUP file for Windows 10 ARM

For downloading a UUP file you can use any one of the following websites. Each of them works a bit differently. On these websites, you only have to choose a Windows version, build number, language, and edition like Pro, Home, Ultimate, etc.

• https://uupdump.net/ (for Linux or Mac PC)

Download the file from this website only if your computer is not running on Windows OS. While on the website, I recommend selecting only one edition to keep the file size smaller and make the installation faster. Only check the required edition and leave others unchecked. Now choose the Download and convert to ISO option.

• https://uup.rg-adguard.net/ (for Windows PC only)

This site has got a much more intuitive interface where you can easily download the file. Use the drop-down arrows to choose the required version number, edition, build number, etc. Then click on the Download ISO compiler in One click! option in the download type. Download the cmd file by clicking on the link appearing on the right side. This will look something like this:

Step 2: Update Raspberry Pi Firmware

As usual, before doing something big, we have to update the firmware of our Raspberry Pi. To do the same, open a terminal and type the following command.

sudo apt update
sudo apt full-upgrade

Once done with that, stop your device and you don’t need the Raspberry Pi OS (Raspbian) anymore.

Step 3: Build Windows 10 ISO File on your PC

The next step is to build the Windows 10 ISO image file using the cmd file that we’ve download in step 1. If you downloaded the file from the second website you will get the direct cmd file whereas if you have downloaded it from the first website (uupdump.net) then you need to extract the zip file to see a file named “uudp_download_windows.cmd“.

1. Double click on the cmd file and you will see a terminal window. Press 0 when asked. It will immediately start to download some files for the process. This will be of a few gigabytes and take a lot of time if your internet connection is slow.
2. Once the downloads are complete it will automatically start to build the ISO image file.
3. This also will take some time. If you encounter any stuck somewhere in the process just press the Enter.

Step 4: Flash the ISO File with WoR Tool

Now it’s time to flash the ISO file that we build just now. Here comes the use of the WoR tool. It is a simple and easy-to-use flashing tool. To flash the ISO, follow the below steps.

• Firstly, extract the WoR_Release_….zip archive to a new folder on your computer.
• Find the wor.exe file and double-click on it.
• Select your preferred language from the drop-down list.

• Choose the target drive (your SD Card or SSD drive) and the model of your Raspberry Pi board.

• Once all those selected, now navigate and choose the ISO file that we’ve built.

• The next step is to select the driver package from the server. Simply select the latest package.

• Then select the UEFI firmware to flash. Here also select the latest version available.

• Check the configuration and click Next.

• So you have selected all the things to get started with the install. Just double-check everything and click Install.

The installation may take as long as 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the write speed of your SD Card. This is why I recommend getting an A1 or A2 class SD Card or else an SSD drive to get the job done much faster. On an SSD drive, it may take only about 15 minutes or so.

The First Boot

And now once the Raspberry Pi Windows 10 installation is completed and your device is ready, you can directly plug it (if you have an SSD) into the Pi or insert it if you have an SD card. Then boot it up.

Since it is the first boot, it will take some time to completely initialize and configure things according to your device and boot up. However, from the second boot onwards everything will be fine and will work as normal. If you are a beginner and don’t know how to set up a remote desktop on your Raspberry Pi, just relax – I’ve got that covered for you. Head over to this link: How to Setup Raspberry Pi Remote Desktop on Windows/ Linux/ Mac (5 Methods)

As usual with a typical Windows installation, you will need to configure some things manually: for example Cortana and the privacy policies that Windows normally tries to disable for you.

Once done with that, you will enter into a full-fledged Windows 10 on your cute little Raspberry Pi.

Overclock the Raspberry Pi

Now that you have successfully completed the Raspberry Pi Windows 10 installation, and thinking to boost the performance?

Well. That’s indeed a right thought. Overclocking a Raspberry Pi will help you get the most out of your SBC and take your projects to the next level. For this purpose, I have written a comprehensive article on how to overclock Raspberry Pi board. You can click on the link and refer to the article.

How Does Raspberry Pi Windows 10 Perform?

In my testing, the overall performance is pretty much decent and it’s smoothly usable. However, it has the following limitations.

• Resource limits will be reached quickly with some usage.
• CPU usage is almost 100% while streaming YouTube in Google Chrome.
• Bluetooth support is also limited as the RTS/CTS lines are not exposed.
• Problems with HDMI audio out.

Though it is having some limitations, you will get a nice Windows 10 experience on your tiny computer. You can get partially get rid of the resource exhausting problem by providing an A2 class 32/64 GB SD card or a super-fast SSD drive.

Now it’s your turn..

It’s now your turn to try the Raspberry Pi Windows 10 installation and share your experience. I’ve tried to make this tutorial as simple as possible and still if you have any queries just drop them in the comment section below.

Raspberry Pi 3 Model B/B + SBC официально поддерживает Windows 10 IoT, но если вы когда-нибудь захотите запустить полную версию Windows 10, вам не повезет, поскольку Microsoft не предоставляет эту опцию.

Однако, теперь есть неофициальное приложение под названием WoA Installer для Raspberry Pi 3, позволяющее установить Windows 10 Home/Professional Arm64 на вашу плату Raspberry Pi 3 B/B +. WoA расшифровывается как Windows on Arm, а проект размещается на Github.

Все, что вам нужно, это компьютер с Windows 10 с .NET Framework 4.6.1, карта micro SD класса A1/A2, плата RPi 3 и образ Windows 10 ARM64.

Интересно то, что вам, нужно будет сгенерировать образ .wim через веб-браузер, перейдя по адресу https://uup.rg-adguard.net/, где вы сможете выбрать:

• Тип — Windows (финальная версия), Windows (внутренняя версия), накопительное обновление для Windows 10
• Версия — на выбор x86 или arm64 для Windows. Убедитесь, что вы получили сборку arm64
• Язык
• Версия — Windows 10 Home или Windows 10 Professional
• Тип загрузки — Загрузить ISO-компиляцию в OneClick! (рекомендуется), Aria2, UpdateOS в OneClick !, или «ссылки для генерации по умолчанию»

Будет сгенерирован сценарий .cmd, который необходимо запустить в терминале Windows 10 для создания образа ISO, который можно будет смонтировать в Windows, и где вы найдете файл install.vim, который будет записан на карту микро SD через Инструменты установки WoA, упомянутые выше.

У нас нет уверенности, что этот метод не нарушает условия лицензии Microsoft, и запуск Windows 10 Home/ Pro только на 1 ГБ оперативной памяти может быть безумным, но по крайней мере такой вариант существует. Однако, большинство людей, скорее всего, захотят придерживаться Raspbian.

Выражаем свою благодарность источнику из которого взята и переведена статья, сайту cnx-software.com.

Do you think installing and starting Windows 10 on Raspberry is feasible? Yes, apparently it is possible, I tried it and it worked, to my great satisfaction. Now I will show you all the steps necessary to do this.

In fact, but not for long, all the material to carry out the transaction in title in total safety is present on the net. The developers finally installed the ARM-optimized version of Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi 4, after some people managed to get it to work on the Raspberry Pi 3 in the first half of 2019 as well.

1. Windows IoT Core vs Windows 10 ARM

Raspberry Pi 4 and Pi 3 officially support the IoT Core version of Windows 10, which is not the same version of Windows 10, so to speak, the one that runs on a desktop PC, but is a smaller version for low-power computers.

The ARM version of windows 10, which we will install on Raspberry, is a normal windows version, as we all know it, but with only the necessary services active when the operating system starts, but I repeat that it is a normal windows installation with all the features to which windows in the meantime has accustomed us.

There is a huge difference between the Iot version of windows and a version compiled for ARM, but we see some differences between these two versions. For example, Windows 10 IoT Core won’t let you run traditional Win32 apps or launch on the desktop. The IoT allows you to run a single UWP app at a time, and the real purpose of the operating system on the Raspberryi is to run small applications, designed for tiny computer boards.

Fortunately, there is a new guide to getting Windows 10 running on ARM on Pi 3 B + and Pi 4B using an unsupported technical preview build. Unlike IoT, Windows 10 ARM is an ARM-focused OS redefinition, which comes with a traditional desktop and Win32 app support via emulation.

This means that by installing an ARM version of windows on Raspberry, you will be able to run any type of application that normally runs on traditional 32 and 64 bit versions of windows.

2. Download the necessary software

Before proceeding with the installation of the operating system, we must obtain everything necessary to continue. Then you will find listed below all the software needed to install Windows 10 on Raspberry Pi4 and 3.

2.1 Download UEFI firmware

Download the UEFI firmware for Pi4 from here and for Pi3 from here, for Pi4 click on the RPi4_UEFI_Firmware_v1.29.zip link, while for Pi3 on the RPi3_UEFI_Firmware_v1.29.zip link and extract it to a FAT32 formatted MicroSD card.

2.2 Download Windows 10 ARM

Download Windows 10 ARM64 Build from here. Click on the ARM64 button relating to the “Latest Public Release build”, never choose the cumulative version and if the system shows you multiple versions of windows 10, choose only one you like between Home and Pro, and follow all the suggested steps, at the end procedure you will download a zip file, with three batch files inside. If you are using windows on your pc, run the one with the cmd extension.

2.3 Download WOR “Windows on Raspberry”

Download “Windows on Raspberry” from here. This software will allow you to install the previously downloaded Build on the MicroSD that you will insert into the Raspberry.

After downloading these files, you need to carefully follow the technical steps that I will now give you.

3. Installing the Windows 10 ARM ISO on MicroSD

Let’s go back to the ISO you downloaded earlier for a moment. In the sources folder, there is a file: install.wim, remember this file and the path to reach it, it will be very useful when you are asked.

As a first step you have to mount the ISO, the operation is very simple click with the right mouse button on the ISO and select the mount context menu item. In the explorer you will find another device with all the ISO files mounted, just as if you were reading the contents of a DVD from the optical drive.

Now extract and start, with administrator rights, the “Windows on Raspberry” program, downloaded previously, by clicking on the executable WOR.exe in the extracted folder.

Well a little more patience and we are almost done. Once the WOR program, which stands for “Windows On Raspberry”, is open, the window will be shown as shown in the image below:

In the “welcome” tab, all you have to do is select the language and click Next.

In the second “Select device” tab you must select the Raspberry Pi4 or Pi3, depending on your needs, also select the MicroSD and click Next.

It’s time to select our install.wim file, remember? Then click on the file selection button, present next to the wording “select image” and go to the resource created at the ISO mount and reach the sources folder, double click on the install.wim file and click on the Next button again.

At the request to load the drivers, check the item “get the latest drivers from the internet”, click on Next again.

The time has come to specify the updated firmware appropriate to the type of Raspberry in your possession. Among the downloaded files, you will remember that you have downloaded two zip files one for the Pi4 and one for the Pi3, the file name is more or less in this form: RPi4_UEFI_Firmware… .zip or RPi3_UEFI_Firmware… .zip, logically you will feed it the appropriate zip file.

In the “Configuration” tab, make sure MBR is selected as the boot type and click Next again and then Install. To successfully conclude the procedure, there must be an internet connection for the entire ISO installation phase.

At the end of the entire installation procedure and only after the display of the message, which will indicate the correct transfer of the operating system to MicroSD, you can disconnect the MicroSD from the PC and insert it into the Raspberry. Connect the keyboard, mouse, monitor and power supply to the Raspberry and wait for the BIOS to load.

It is necessary, when starting the Raspberry, to click on esc, and reach the menu item change order boot, and specify the SD / MMC as the first loading device of the operating system. Another very useful advice is to try to overclock the Raspberry, selecting the max item in correspondence with what is indicated on the RPI Configuration page.

At this point, exit the BIOS and click on the continue link, present on the BIOS home page, and wait for the correct start of the windows 10 installation phase.

4. Conclusions

Windows on ARM performs better on the Raspberry Pi 4 than its predecessor, but the system continues to drop frames when watching 1080p video or streaming Netflix using the Windows Store app. Graphics-intensive activities are incredibly slow, and some apps may crash if you switch between them. Logically we are talking about an intensive use of the operating system, it is worth remembering that the applications that we will run on Raspberry must be low impact applications for the operating system.

The developers are also bringing Windows 10 to ARM on Android phones such as Galaxy S8, OnePlus 6, OnePlus 5, and Xiaomi Mi Mix.
